Sensors
Lirum Device Info includes multiple tools to validate sensor availability and behavior. Most sensor tools stream live readings so you can confirm the sensor responds to movement and environment changes.
Sensor Tools
- Accelerometer: Live acceleration (X/Y/Z) plus history graphs.
- Gyroscope: Live rotation rate (X/Y/Z) plus history graphs.
- Magnetometer: Live magnetic field (X/Y/Z) and heading (device dependent).
- GPS Status: Map + live location (accuracy, speed, altitude), with permission guidance.
- Barometer: Pressure and relative altitude (device dependent).
- Proximity Sensor: Near/Far state with an event log (device dependent).
Shared Controls
All motion sensor tools (Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Magnetometer) share the same toolbar controls:
- Play / Pause: start or pause sensor updates.
- Clear: clear history buffers used by the graphs.
- Refresh rate: cycle between three sampling rates -- Faster (100 Hz), Fast (2 Hz), and Slow (1 Hz).
The Accelerometer and Gyroscope tools both feature real-time 3D Metal-rendered visualizations (a wireframe sphere and wireframe gyroscope rings, respectively). The Magnetometer includes a detailed compass visualization with field strength indicator.
Notes
- Availability varies by device and OS version. Motion sensors are unavailable on macOS Catalyst and visionOS (the magnetometer is also unavailable on visionOS).
- Some tools require permissions (for example Location for GPS, Motion & Fitness for Barometer).
