The Accelerometer
constructor creates a new Accelerometer
object which returns the acceleration of the device along all three axes at the time it is read.
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 accelerometer = new Accelerometer([options])
Parameters
- options Optional
- Options are as follows:
frequency
