The AbsoluteOrientationSensor
constructor creates a new AbsoluteOrientationSensor
object which describes the device's physical orientation in relation to the Earth's reference coordinate system.
If a feature policy blocks use of a feature it is because your code is inconsistent with the policies set on your server. This is not something that would ever be shown to a user. See Feature-Policy
for implementation instructions.
