Spec https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/screen-orientation/raw-file/tip/Overview.html
Summary
The Screen Orientation
API's goal is to provide an interface for web
applications to be able to read the screen orientation
state, to be informed when this state changes and to
be able to lock the screen orientation to a specific
state.
Motivation We
are particularly interesting in the screen orientation
locking capabilities on the API and its applications for
mobile gaming.
Compatibility
Risk Low: -
The API is already supported by Firefox (Desktop and
Android): https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Screen.orientation
- Support was also recently added to Internet Explorer 11:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/dn433241(v=vs.85).aspx
The spec is mostly stable but we are expecting a few
changes as Mounir Lamouri (editor) is working on it. We
plan on advancing the implementation together with the
specification.
Ongoing
technical constraints None,
but requires hardware support.
Will
this feature be supported on all five Blink platforms
(Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS and Android)? No.
This feature is mobile oriented and we plan to support for
Android only short-term, with layout testing support on desktop.
