Gyroscope.rotationRate

var rotationRate: Vector3;
Vector3 rotationRate;
rotationRate as Vector3

Description

Returns rotation rate as measured by the device's gyroscope.

The rotation rate is given as a Vector3 representing the speed of rotation around each of the three axes in radians per second. This is the value as it is reported by the gyroscope hardware - a more accurate measurement that has been processed to remove "bias" can be obtained with the rotationRateUnbiased property.

		if ((Input.gyro.rotationRate.y > shakeSpeed) && !audio.isPlaying) {
			audio.PlayOneShot(shakeSound);
		}
