This specification defines accelerometer sensor interface for obtaining information about acceleration applied to the X, Y and Z axis of a device that hosts the sensor.
- Deliverers
- Devices and Sensors Working Group
This specification defines a concrete sensor interface to monitor the rate of rotation around the device’s local three primary axes.
Working Drafts
- Deliverers
- Devices and Sensors Working Group
The Compute Pressure API provides a way for websites to react to changes in the CPU pressure of the target device, such that websites can trade off resources for an improved user experience.
This specification defines several new DOM event types that provide information about the physical orientation and motion of a hosting device.
This document specifies an API that allows web applications to request a screen wake lock. Under the right conditions, and if allowed, the screen wake lock prevents the system from turning off a device's screen.
- Deliverers
- Devices and Sensors Working Group
This document specifies an API that allows web applications to request and be notified of changes of the posture of a foldable device.
An API to give one-off access to a user’s contact information with full control over the shared data.
