Sensor APIs

This is a submission for DEV Challenge v24.03.20, One Byte Explainer: Browser API or Feature.

Explainer

Sensor APIs provide web apps a standard way to access device sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope) for features like motion detection or orientation, unlocking possibilities in gaming, fitness, and AR/VR.

Additional Context

Imagine features in web apps that react to your movements! Sensor APIs make this possible. They're like special tools that web apps can use to access your device's sensors, like the ones that track movement in games or fitness trackers. This lets web apps create cool features like tilt controls in games, virtual tours that react to where you move your phone, and more!
