DeviceMotionEvent: acceleration property
Baseline 2023Newly 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 acceleration recorded by
the device, in meters per second squared (m/s²).
This value does not include the effect of
the gravitational force, in contrast to DeviceMotionEvent.accelerationIncludingGravity
.
Note:
If the hardware does not 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 the three axes in the Device coordinate frame. Each axis is represented with its own property:
