The test loads when you open it. Device access is requested only after you choose to start.
Detailed guide
How to use this tool
- Start, allow motion access when requested and gently rotate the device.
- Inspect orientation values while changing one axis at a time.
Input
A supported physical device and permission
Browser requirement
HTTPS; DeviceMotion or DeviceOrientation
Processing
Runs on your device; no tool-result upload
How it works and what the result means
Readings come from DeviceMotion or DeviceOrientation events. Axes and coordinate frames vary with device orientation and browser support.
Reading the result
Orientation events describe browser-reported angles. They are not necessarily raw calibrated gyroscope measurements.
What to check next
Use a physical mobile device and HTTPS. Some browsers require a direct permission gesture or provide no orientation data.
Some browsers require HTTPS, explicit permission or a physical mobile device. A desktop computer may have no accessible sensor.
Frequently asked questions
Can zero or missing values prove a failed gyroscope?
No. Permission, browser support and sensor fusion can affect the readings. Compare with a device-specific diagnostic if needed.
How do I start the Gyroscope Test?
Start the sensor test and grant motion permission if prompted. Gently move or rotate the device.
Does this tool require a download or an account?
No. Open the interactive tool above in a modern browser. The instructions and explanations are available even with JavaScript disabled; running a test needs JavaScript.
Why can two attempts give different results?
Power settings, background tasks, browser scheduling, operating-system input processing and device settings affect measurements. Compare repeated attempts with identical settings rather than the single highest score.
