DeviceMotionEvent: acceleration property
Baseline 2023
Newly available
Since September 2023, this feature works across the latest devices and browser versions. This feature might not work in older devices or browsers.
Secure context: This feature is available only in secure contexts (HTTPS), in some or all supporting browsers.
The acceleration
read-only property of the DeviceMotionEvent
interface returns the amount of acceleration recorded by
the device, in meters per second squared (m/s²).
The acceleration value does not include the effect of
the gravity force, in contrast to DeviceMotionEvent.accelerationIncludingGravity
.
Note: If the hardware doesn't know how to remove gravity from the
acceleration data, this value may not be present in the
DeviceMotionEvent
. In this situation, you'll need to use
DeviceMotionEvent.accelerationIncludingGravity
instead.
Value
The acceleration
property is an object providing information about
acceleration on three axis. Each axis is represented with its own property:
