#Sensors

##Accelerometer

Measures the acceleration force in m/s2 that is applied to a device on all three physical axes (x, y, and z), including the force of gravity.

##Ambient Temperature

Measures the ambient room temperature in degrees Celsius (°C).

##Gravity

Measures the force of gravity in m/s2 that is applied to a device on all three physical axes (x, y, z).

##Gyroscope

Measures a device's rate of rotation in rad/s around each of the three physical axes (x, y, and z).

##Humidity

Measures the relative ambient humidity in percent (%).

##Light

Measures the ambient light level (illumination) in lx.

##LinearAccelerometer

Measures the acceleration force in m/s2 that is applied to a device on all three physical axes (x, y, and z), excluding the force of gravity.

##Magnetic

Measures the ambient geomagnetic field for all three physical axes (x, y, z) in μT.

##Orientation

Measures degrees of rotation that a device makes around all three physical axes (x, y, z).

##Pressure

Measures the ambient air pressure in hPa or mbar.

##Proximity

Measures the proximity of an object in cm relative to the view screen of a device. This sensor is typically used to determine whether a handset is being held up to a person's ear.

##Rotation

Measures the orientation of a device by providing the three elements of the device's rotation vector.
