Input.gyro

Description

Returns default gyroscope.

Note: This API is part of the legacy Input class, and not recommended for new projects. The documentation is provided here to support legacy projects that use the old Input Manager and Input class. For new projects you should use the newer and Input System Package. (read more).

Use this to return the gyroscope details of your device. Ensure first that your device has a gyroscope. Use Input.gyro.enabled to check this.

Knowing the gyroscope details of a device enables you the ability to include features that need to know a device’s orientation. Common uses include changing camera angles or GameObject’s positions when a user rotates and moves their device.

//Attach this script to a GameObject in your Scene.
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class InputGyroExample : MonoBehaviour
{
    Gyroscope m_Gyro;

    void Start()
    {
        //Set up and enable the gyroscope (check your device has one)
        m_Gyro = Input.gyro;
        m_Gyro.enabled = true;
    }

//This is a legacy function, check out the UI section for other ways to create your UI
    void OnGUI()
    {
        //Output the rotation rate, attitude and the enabled state of the gyroscope as a Label
        GUI.Label(new Rect(500, 300, 200, 40), "Gyro rotation rate " + m_Gyro.rotationRate);
        GUI.Label(new Rect(500, 350, 200, 40), "Gyro attitude" + m_Gyro.attitude);
        GUI.Label(new Rect(500, 400, 200, 40), "Gyro enabled : " + m_Gyro.enabled);
    }
