Some games use gyroscope controls for aiming. This is not possible on safari due to the lack of the Gyroscope API. The standard is here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Gyroscope

As far as I can tell, we don't have a standards position issue open at this time.

I think you can use the device orientation API: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Device_orientation_events/Detecting_device_orientation It relies on the gyroscope to get the device’s orientation.

It’s highly likely we will “oppose” this specification as it’s duplicative of what the Device Orientation and Motion specification already provides (as far as I can tell).
