Window: devicemotion event

The devicemotion event is fired at a regular interval and indicates the amount of physical force of acceleration the device is receiving at that time. It also provides information about the rate of rotation, if available.

Examples

function handleMotionEvent(event) {

    var x = event.accelerationIncludingGravity.x;
    var y = event.accelerationIncludingGravity.y;
    var z = event.accelerationIncludingGravity.z;

    // Do something awesome.
}

window.addEventListener("devicemotion", handleMotionEvent, true);
