    The WebAPI already covers gyroscope. Take a look at the following:
    1- https : / / developer . mozilla . org/en-US/docs/Web/API/DeviceOrientationEvent
    2- https : / / developer . mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/DeviceMotionEvent

    I believe the 2 APIs above should cover the javascript bindings.

    One important thing to notice, is that on iOS 13 onwards, permission needs to be requested to access the gyroscope, and the request must be initiated with a user gesture.
