Constants

Accelerometer

Accelerometer is a sensor that measures the device acceleration changes in three‑dimensional space. You can use this data to detect both the current orientation of the device (relative to the ground) and any instantaneous changes to that orientation.

Declared In SKSensorType.h.

Gyroscope

Gyroscope is a sensor that measures the device’s rate of rotation around each of the three spatial axes.

Declared In SKSensorType.h.

Magnetometer

Magnetometer (also known as Compass or Magnetic Field Sensor) is a sensor that measures the strength of the magnetic field surrounding the device.

Declared In SKSensorType.h.

DeviceMotion

Device Motion sensor uses sensor fusion techniques to provide more advanced and accurate motion measurements. It measures the Attitude, Rotation Rate, Calibrated Magnetic Field, as well as a separation of User Acceleration and Gravity from the device’s acceleration.

Declared In SKSensorType.h.

MotionActivity

Motion Activity sensor uses an embedded motion co‑processor that senses the user’s activity classified as Stationary, Walking, Running, Automotive or Cycling.

Declared In SKSensorType.h.

Pedometer

Pedometer sensor uses an embedded motion co‑processor that captures pedestrian‑related data such as step counts, distance traveled and number of floors ascended or descended.

Declared In SKSensorType.h.

Altimeter

Altimeter sensor uses an embedded barometer sensor to capture changes to the relative altitude (not the actual). It also provides the recorded atmospheric pressure in kPa.

Declared In SKSensorType.h.

Battery

Battery sensor listens to changes in the battery charge state (Charging, Full, Unplugged) as well as in the battery charge level (with 1% precision).

Declared In SKSensorType.h.

Location

Location sensor determines the current location of the device using a combination of Cellular, Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth and GPS sensors. It provides 2D geographical coordinate information (latitude, longitude), as well as the altitude of the device.

Declared In SKSensorType.h.

Heading

Heading is a sensor that reports the device’s orientation relative to magnetic and true north.

Declared In SKSensorType.h.

iBeaconProximity

iBeacon™ Proximity sensor uses Apple’s iBeacon™ technology to estimate the proximity of the current device with other iBeacons in range.

Declared In SKSensorType.h.

EddystoneProximity

Eddystone™ Proximity sensor estimates the proximity of the current device with other Eddystone™ beacons in range.

Declared In SKSensorType.h.

Microphone

Microphone sensor can be used to record audio from the environment (up to 4 hours) by converting sound into electrical signal.
