/**
* Definition of the axis
* ----------------------
*
* This API is relative to the screen of the device in its default orientation,
* that is, if the device can be used in portrait or landscape, this API
* is only relative to the NATURAL orientation of the screen. In other words,
* the axis are not swapped when the device's screen orientation changes.
* Higher level services /may/ perform this transformation.
*
* x<0 x>0
* ^
* |
* +-----------+--> y>0
* | |
* | |
* | |
* | | / z<0
* | | /
* | | /
* O-----------+/
* |[] [ ] []/
* +----------/+ y<0
* /
* /
* |/ z>0 (toward the sky)
*
* O: Origin (x=0,y=0,z=0)
*
*
* Orientation
* -----------
*
* All values are angles in degrees.
*
* Orientation sensors return sensor events for all 3 axes at a constant
* rate defined by setDelay().
*
* azimuth: angle between the magnetic north direction and the Y axis, around
* the Z axis (0<=azimuth<360).
* 0=North, 90=East, 180=South, 270=West
*
* pitch: Rotation around X axis (-180<=pitch<=180), with positive values when
* the z-axis moves toward the y-axis.
*
* roll: Rotation around Y axis (-90<=roll<=90), with positive values when
* the x-axis moves towards the z-axis.
*
* Note: For historical reasons the roll angle is positive in the clockwise
* direction (mathematically speaking, it should be positive in the
* counter-clockwise direction):
*
* Z
* ^
* (+roll) .--> |
* / |
* | | roll: rotation around Y axis
* X <-------(.)
* Y
* note that +Y == -roll
*
*
*
* Note: This definition is different from yaw, pitch and roll used in aviation
* where the X axis is along the long side of the plane (tail to nose).
*
*
* Acceleration
* ------------
*
* All values are in SI units (m/s^2) and measure the acceleration of the
* device minus the force of gravity.
*
* Acceleration sensors return sensor events for all 3 axes at a constant
* rate defined by setDelay().
*
* x: Acceleration minus Gx on the x-axis
* y: Acceleration minus Gy on the y-axis
* z: Acceleration minus Gz on the z-axis
*
* Examples:
* When the device lies flat on a table and is pushed on its left side
* toward the right, the x acceleration value is positive.
*
* When the device lies flat on a table, the acceleration value is +9.81,
* which correspond to the acceleration of the device (0 m/s^2) minus the
* force of gravity (-9.81 m/s^2).
*
* When the device lies flat on a table and is pushed toward the sky, the
* acceleration value is greater than +9.81, which correspond to the
* acceleration of the device (+A m/s^2) minus the force of
* gravity (-9.81 m/s^2).
*
*
* Magnetic Field
* --------------
*
* All values are in micro-Tesla (uT) and measure the ambient magnetic
* field in the X, Y and Z axis.
*
* Magnetic Field sensors return sensor events for all 3 axes at a constant
* rate defined by setDelay().
*
* Proximity
* ---------
*
* The distance value is measured in centimeters. Note that some proximity
* sensors only support a binary "close" or "far" measurement. In this case,
* the sensor should report its maxRange value in the "far" state and a value
* less than maxRange in the "near" state.
*
* Proximity sensors report a value only when it changes and each time the
* sensor is enabled. setDelay() is ignored.
*
* Light
* -----
*
* The light sensor value is returned in SI lux units.
*
* Light sensors report a value only when it changes and each time the
* sensor is enabled. setDelay() is ignored.
*
* Pressure
* --------
*
* The pressure sensor value is returned in hectopascal (hPa)
*
* Pressure sensors report events at a constant rate defined by setDelay().
*
