2.5.4 Motion Actuation (Level A)

Tools and requirements

  • Manual Assessment
  • Mobile device with gyroscope interaction

Test procedure

If there is any functionality where gyroscope motion is used to activate it, then there needs to be an alternate way of performing the functionality in a way where motion is not required.

Finding functionality using gyroscope motion is going to be quite rare. Most sites you encounter will likely not include any such functionality.
