About:
QtSensors is a module within the Qt framework that provides a high-level interface for accessing hardware sensors like accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers. It abstracts platform-specific differences, allowing developers to integrate sensor data into applications using both C++ and QML. This enables the creation of responsive, context-aware applications that react to device motion and orientation.

Key Features:

Cross-platform sensor access
C++ and QML APIs
Sensor gesture recognition
Plugin-based architecture

Use Cases:

Developing motion-controlled mobile games
Building augmented reality (AR) applications
Creating auto-rotating UIs for tablets and phones

Alternatives:

Raw OS APIs – QtSensors offers a unified, cross-platform API, whereas using raw OS APIs (like CoreMotion on iOS) requires platform-specific code.
