RelativeOrientationSensor.RelativeOrientationSensor()

The RelativeOrientationSensor constructor creates a new RelativeOrientationSensor object which describes the device's physical orientation.

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.
