Phone gyroscope and orientation checker
This gyroscope test reads your device’s orientation sensor in the browser. Rotate your phone to see the three orientation angles change live.
Alpha, beta and gamma
Alpha is compass-like rotation (0–360°), beta front-back tilt (−180–180°), gamma left-right tilt (−90–90°).
Calibration
Figure-eight motions can recalibrate the compass part of the sensor.

Orientation FAQ
Roll, pitch and yaw
Gamma is roll, beta is pitch, alpha is yaw.
Why roll looks odd
Near ±90° pitch the angles change rapidly due to how orientation is represented (gimbal lock).
Answers about orientation
Does the gyroscope sense movement in space?
It senses rotation; straight-line movement comes from the accelerometer.
