Use Cases

The DeviceOrientation event is commonly used for detecting and responding to device orientation, including portrait and landscape modes, compass headings, and tilt directions.

This data is particularly useful for creating PWAs that showcase augmented and/or virtual reality experiences. You can also leverage this JavaScript even in interactive games, navigation apps, or PWAs that make use of a device's camera.
