The W3C defined a generic sensor API for browsers which also allows to support sensors like the Magnetometer. The spec can be found here: https://www.w3.org/TR/generic-sensor/
Does Mozilla intend to support that API for Firefox? Is it maybe even already under development? note: Chrome 63 does support it in it early version already and it works nicely. As a second note as I saw some discussion around here about security and sensors: it does require the code to be delivered via HTTPS - otherwise you get security exceptions. cheers Stefan If someone likes to see a code snipped how it can be used with google's cardboard to detect the magnetic "button", I provided something at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40270350/detect-google-cardboard-magnetic-button-click-in-javascript _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
