How it works & what results mean
How the test works
Explore heading only where usable data exists. It uses DeviceMotion/DeviceOrientation; optional Generic Sensor/Vibration APIs. The workspace shows observations from this browser or asks for your own confirmation.
Understanding your result
Relative alpha is not north. Absolute heading, where supplied, is uncalibrated and can be affected by magnetic interference. Absolute/reference heading may be absent; relative orientation is not north; magnetic interference/calibration affect values Missing data, blocked permission and an operation that could not run are shown separately. None establishes a hardware fault.
