Ah, okay. For some reason I thought it was solely based on software.
It is based on the Sensors API. Also, to use this sensor, browser needs permission from the user, that is done via the Permissions API.

Yes, this is based on the sensors that are present on your device. The Sensors API exposes those device sensors on to the web platform.
