Expose sensors to workers

Open tobie opened this issue 10 years ago • 3 comments

Expose sensors to workers for perf reasons (avoid blocking main thread).

Actions:

  • [ ] Figure out the permissioning story.

Certain use cases require sensors to have background access. Using a more complex {{PermissionDescriptor}}. (e.g. with a boolean allowBackgroundUsage = false; [=dictionary member=]), might be the solution to relax this restriction.

  • [ ] Amend IDL

Splitting that issue up into workers here and service workers in #106.

We need to figure out the permission story here too.

That's definitely a thing that begs for a clear display. I.e. UA must clearly show when a sensor is being accessed.
