Indicates whether or not the device is providing orientation data absolutely (that is, in reference to the Earth's coordinate frame) or using some arbitrary frame determined by the device. See Orientation and motion data explained for details.
Syntax
var absolute = instanceOfDeviceOrientationEvent.absolute;
On return, absolute is true if the orientation data
in instanceOfDeviceOrientationEvent is provided as the difference between
the Earth's coordinate frame and the device's coordinate frame, or false if
the orientation data is being provided in reference to some arbitrary, device-determined
coordinate frame.
