The z
read-only property of the Accelerometer
interface returns a double precision integer containing the acceleration of the device along the its z axis.
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.
Syntax
var zAcceleration = accelerometer.z
Value
A Number
.
Example
Acceleration is typically read in the Sensor.onreading
event callback. In the example below this occurs sixty times a second.
let accelerometer = new Accelerometer({frequency: 60}); accelerometer.addEventListener('reading', e => { console.log("Acceleration along the X-axis " + accelerometer.x); console.log("Acceleration along the Y-axis " + accelerometer.y); console.log("Acceleration along the Z-axis " + accelerometer.z); }); accelerometer.start();
