• Name: Accelerometer
• Specification URL: https://w3c.github.io/accelerometer/
• Name: Gyroscope
• Specification URL: https://w3c.github.io/gyroscope/
• Name: Magnetometer
• Specification URL: https://w3c.github.io/magnetometer/
• Name: Orientation Sensor

• Primary contacts: @rwaldron @alexshalamov @pozdnyakov

Further details (optional):

• Relevant time constraints or deadlines: we plan to advance to CR around 1Q'18 assuming positive feedback from the origin trial and you! Feedback from TAG by the end of 2017 would be nice.
• I have read and filled out the Self-Review Questionnare on Security and Privacy. The assessment is here.
• I have reviewed the TAG's API Design Principles

You should also know that...

• We have prepared a Changelog documenting the differences from the W3C Working Draft 24 March 2016 TAG reviewed earlier to make this revisit a pleasant experience for you.
• We have addressed all your feedback provided during the earlier review in Generic Sensor API w3ctag/design-reviews#110 and Ambient Light Sensor API w3ctag/design-reviews#115
• Generic Sensor-based sensors in scope for this TAG review are available as an origin trial starting in Chrome 63.

We'd prefer the TAG provide feedback as (please select one):

• open issues in our Github repo for each point of feedback
• open a single issue in our Github repo for the entire review
• leave review feedback as a comment in this issue and @-notify [github usernames]
