acceleration

The acceleration that the user is giving to the device.

Declaration

readonly attribute Acceleration acceleration;

Discussion

The acceleration data are expressed in m/s^2 and use the following x, y, and z axis properties represented as doubles:

x

In the plane of the screen, positive towards the right side of the screen.

y

In the plane of the screen, positive towards the top of the screen.

z

Perpendicular to the screen, positive out of the screen.

This property is null if the device cannot provide the user acceleration—that is, if the device does not have a gyroscope.

Use the accelerationIncludingGravity property to get the total acceleration.
