[ghost]

The article is about the following sensors in (mobile) devices:

• Touch
• Geolocation (GPS)
• Motion (accelerometer, compass, gyroscope)
• Energy
• Proximity
• Media Capture
• Light
• Temperature
• Pressure

and how to use the Web APIs that make web developers access those sensors.

This article is based on the following slides:

I will focus only on the W3C standards, and mention the new Sensor API (under construction).

I already covered the "Media Capture" capture in the following article I wrote a couple of years ago for Dev.Opera:

so I'll link to it.

What are your thoughts?
