The Accelerometer() constructor creates a new Accelerometer object which returns the acceleration of the device along all three axes at the time it is read.

Syntax

new Accelerometer()
new Accelerometer(options)

Parameters

options Optional

Options are as follows:

frequency Optional: The desired number of times per second a sample should be taken, meaning the number of times per second the reading event will be called. A whole number or decimal may be used, the latter for frequencies less than a second. The actual reading frequency depends on the device hardware and consequently may be less than requested.
referenceFrame Optional: Either 'device' or 'screen'. The default is 'device'.
