Gyroscope & Accelerometer Sensor Test
Professional online utility to inspect motion sensors, 3D orientation angles, and acceleration vectors
Tilt and rotate your phone or tablet. The interactive 3D phone model and real-time metrics respond to spatial orientation.
Online Gyroscope & Accelerometer Test: Diagnostic Guide for Motion Sensors
The Online Gyroscope & Accelerometer Test Utility is a modern web application for evaluating inertial sensors on smartphones, tablets, and laptops. Utilizing standard W3C DeviceOrientation API and DeviceMotion API interfaces, our tool reads spatial tilt angles across three axes and renders a real-time interactive 3D model.
Why Test Mobile Gyroscope & Motion Sensors?
Evaluating motion sensor accuracy helps diagnose common hardware and software bugs:
- Fix Screen Auto-Rotation Glitches: resolve instances where the screen fails to flip between portrait and landscape modes.
- Troubleshoot Mobile Gaming Aim Lag (PUBG, COD Mobile, Racing): identify sensor drift, jitter, or unresponsive aiming controls.
- Resolve Augmented Reality (AR) & Navigation Errors: fix compass heading drift and camera positioning glitches.
- Post-Repair Diagnostic Verification: verify physical MEMS gyroscope chips after screen replacement or device drops.
Difference Between Gyroscopes & Accelerometers
- Accelerometer — measures proper acceleration (including gravitational force g ≈ 9.81 m/s²). Detects screen tilt relative to gravity and shake gestures.
- Gyroscope — measures angular velocity (°/s) around three axes. Detects precise rotational speed even when the device is stationary.
Understanding 3D Orientation Angles (W3C Standard)
- Alpha (α / Yaw): rotation around the vertical Z axis (0° to 360°), aligning with compass heading.
- Beta (β / Pitch): front-to-back tilt around the X axis (-180° to 180°). Equals 90° when holding the device vertically upright.
- Gamma (γ / Roll): side-to-side roll around the Y axis (-90° to 90°).
How to Calibrate a Drifting Gyroscope Sensor
If your device angles continuously drift when resting on a flat surface:
- Place your phone flat on a level table for 10–15 seconds.
- Click the Calibrate / Reset button to reset zero-reference coordinates.
- Perform system sensor calibration via Android or iOS settings ("Compass / Gyro Calibration").
