Some Android devices have a gyroscope sensor that provides information about the rate of rotation in rad/s around a device’s x, y, and z axis. NOTE: The gyroscope is currently not available on iOS devices since there is no implementation in the RoboVM - backend yet. You must first enable the gyroscope in your android config. (Typically in your AndroidLauncher.java file)

config = new AndroidApplicationConfiguration();config.useGyroscope = true;  //default is false//you may want to switch off sensors that are on by default if they are no longer needed.config.useAccelerometer = false;config.useCompass = false;

Querying whether the gyroscope is available works as follows:

boolean gyroscopeAvail = Gdx.input.isPeripheralAvailable(Peripheral.Gyroscope);

Once you determined that the gyroscope is indeed available, you can poll its state:

if(gyroscopeAvail){    float gyroX = Gdx.input.getGyroscopeX();    float gyroY = Gdx.input.getGyroscopeY();    float gyroZ = Gdx.input.getGyroscopeZ();}
