juncaidf has just submitted a new pull request for https://github.com/w3c/deviceorientation: == update rotationRate alpha, beta, gamma description to be the same as implementation == In the devicemotion specification: https://w3c.github.io/deviceorientation/spec-source-orientation.html#devicemotion The rotationRate: "It must be expressed as the rate of change of the angles defined in section 4.1" So it means the rotation axes should be the following: z axis: alpha x axis: beta y axis: gamma However, Chrome on Android, Firefox browser on Android, and Safari browser on iPhone, they all implement rotationRate as the following: x axis: alpha y axis: beta z axis: gamma Given that this feature has been implemented in this way for a while and all the above browsers implement it in the same way which is different from the specification, updating the specification seems a better and easy solution. So this pull request updates the devicemotion specification's rotationRate alpha, beta, gamma description to be the same as implementation. See https://github.com/w3c/deviceorientation/pull/43
