Determining left-handed / right handed users?

[vilav]

Hello

Just found the library. Could it be possible to ascertain whether a user is left-handed or right-handed using gyro.js? If so, any code suggestion of how that could be setup such that if tilt = left-ward, then show X, if tilt = right, show Y, if within a middle range do Z?

Hi @vilav,

It might be possible, however I have no idea how to be certain.

It could be interesting to do some research into the skew at which right and left hand users hold their phone, and based on that resting position determine handedness.

Something like this could be useful... https://faculty.washington.edu/wobbrock/pubs/uist-12.pdf

Let me know if you get somewhere with this :] Think it could be have some interesting ramifications.

As per code suggestions it would be integer maths on the x,y and z coordinates. Either using basic threshold functions or by using some statistical functions. But without trying it out myself I am unable to lend any help.
