Frequently Asked Questions

Angular velocity (ω) measures how fast an object rotates around a specific axis. It is expressed in degrees per second (°/s) or radians per second (rad/s). A typical smartphone gyroscope can measure up to ±2000°/s. The three axes correspond to: X (roll) – tilting left/right, Y (pitch) – tilting forward/back, and Z (yaw) – rotating like a compass.

Modern smartphones use MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) gyroscopes based on the Coriolis effect. A tiny vibrating mass shifts when the device rotates, and this displacement is measured capacitively. Combined with accelerometers and magnetometers, these form an IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) used for screen rotation, gaming, VR/AR, and navigation.

The Gyroscope API and DeviceOrientation API are considered powerful features that could potentially be used for fingerprinting or eavesdropping. Browsers require a secure context (HTTPS) to access these sensors. Localhost is also considered secure for development. If you're on HTTP, use the Auto or Manual modes instead.

Degrees per second (°/s) is more intuitive for everyday use – 360°/s means one full rotation per second. Radians per second (rad/s) is the SI unit used in physics and engineering. Conversion: 1 rad/s ≈ 57.3°/s. Use the unit toggle in Settings to switch between them. The Gyroscope API natively reports values in rad/s.

Sensor mode: Works on Chrome 67+, Edge 79+, Opera 54+ (Android & desktop with gyroscope hardware). Safari supports DeviceOrientation on iOS but may require user permission. Firefox has limited support. Auto & Manual modes: Work on all modern browsers including desktop and mobile. For the best experience, use Chrome on an Android device with a gyroscope sensor.

Gyroscope angular velocity data powers many technologies: AR/VR headsets track head rotation; drones stabilize flight; automotive ESC detects skidding; smartphone gaming enables tilt controls; wearable fitness trackers count steps and analyze gait; robotics uses IMU data for balance and navigation; and camera gimbals stabilize footage in real time.
