The  Device and Sensors Working Group  invites implementations of the Candidate Recommendation for six documents, namely: Generic Sensor API : Generic Sensor API defines a framework for exposing sensor data to the Open Web Platform in a consistent way. It does so by defining a blueprint for writing specifications of concrete sensors along with an abstract Sensor interface that can be extended to accommodate different sensor types. Ambient Light Sensor : Ambient Light Sensor defines a concrete sensor interface to monitor the ambient light level or illuminance of the device’s environment. Accelerometer : Accelerometer defines  Accelerometer ,  LinearAccelerationSensor  and  GravitySensor  interfaces for obtaining information about acceleration applied to the X, Y and Z axis of a device that hosts the sensor. Gyroscope : Gyroscope defines a concrete sensor interface to monitor the rate of rotation around the device’s local three primary axes. Mag...

1 February 2018 The  Device and Sensors Working Group  has published a W3C Recommendation of the  HTML Media Capture  specification. The HTML Media Capture specification defines an HTML form extension that facilitates user access to a device’s  media capture mechanism , such as a camera, or microphone, from within a file upload control.

28 November 2017 The  Device and Sensors Working Group  has published a Proposed Recommendation of  HTML Media Capture . The HTML Media Capture specification defines an HTML form extension that facilitates user access to a device’s media capture mechanism, such as a camera, or microphone, from within a file upload control. Comments are welcome through  26 December 2017 .

The  Device and Sensors Working Group  has published a Working Draft of  Orientation Sensor . This specification defines a base orientation sensor interface and concrete sensor subclasses to monitor the device’s physical orientation in relation to a stationary three dimensional Cartesian coordinate system.

The  Device and Sensors Working Group  has published a Group Note of  Motion Sensors Explainer . This explainer is an introduction to low-level and high-level motion sensors, their relationship, inner workings and common use-cases. Common cases of event filtering and sensor fusion are introduced with examples, showing how to apply that on sensors following the Generic Sensor API specification
