Sensor Extension

[michigg]

The prototype supports only the geolocation and mic sensor of the phones, but there are a lot more browser APIs we can use. With the help of project fugu there are a lot improvements that comes to the browsers like the already implemented Generic Sensor API to get a more uniform behavior through different device sensors. More sensor APIs will be on the way using the new Generic Sensor API like the Ambient Light Sensor or the Proximity Sensor.

List of available Sensors with APIs:

• Microphone
• Add Camera Support #25
• Geolocation: Geolocation API https://www.webondevices.com/9-javascript-apis-accessing-device-sensors/#geolocation-api
• Accelerometer
• Gyroscope
• LinearAccelerationSensor
• AbsoluteOrientationSensor
• RelativeOrientationSensor
• GravitySensor
• Magnetometer
• Device Light: Device Light API https://www.webondevices.com/9-javascript-apis-accessing-device-sensors/#device-light-api
• Battery: Battery Manager API https://www.webondevices.com/9-javascript-apis-accessing-device-sensors/#battery-manager-api
• Proximity: Proximity Events API https://www.webondevices.com/9-javascript-apis-accessing-device-sensors/#proximity-events-api
  % TODO: add api links

Can be closed because sensors are implemented and camera is tracked by another sensor.
Proximity sensor is highly experimental. So will not include that.
