Package iio-sensor-proxy: Information

iio-sensor-proxy is a framework for accessing the various environmental sensors
(e.g., accelerometer, magnetometer, proximity, or ambient-light sensors)
built in to recent laptops. The proxy is a daemon that listens to the
Industrial I/O (IIO) subsystem and provides access to the sensor readings
over D-Bus.

As of right now, support for ambient-light sensors and accelerometers is
working; other sensor types are in development. The current API is based
on those used by Android and iOS, but may be expanded in the future. "For
future versions, we'll want to export the raw accelerometer readings, so
that applications, including games, can make use of them, which might
bring up security issues. SDL, Firefox, WebKit could all do with being
adapted, in the near future."
