The Gyroscope
interface of the Sensor APIs provides on each reading the angular velocity of the device along all three axes.
To use this sensor, the user must grant permission to the 'gyroscope'
device sensor through the Permissions API. In addition, this feature may be blocked by a Permissions Policy set on your server.
Gyroscope()
Creates a new Gyroscope
object.
Gyroscope.x
Read only
Returns a double, containing the angular velocity of the device along the device's x axis.
Gyroscope.y
Read only
Returns a double, containing the angular velocity of the device along the device's y axis.
Gyroscope.z
Read only
Returns a double, containing the angular velocity of the device along the device's z axis.
Gyroscope
doesn't have own methods. However, it inherits methods from its parent interfaces, Sensor
and EventTarget
.

The gyroscope is typically read in the reading
event callback. In the example below this occurs sixty times a second.
let gyroscope = new Gyroscope({ frequency: 60 });
gyroscope.addEventListener("reading", (e) => {
console.log(`Angular velocity along the X-axis ${gyroscope.x}`);
console.log(`Angular velocity along the Y-axis ${gyroscope.y}`);
console.log(`Angular velocity along the Z-axis ${gyroscope.z}`);
});
gyroscope.start();
