It is possible to activate the gyroscope control in hrml5 skins, for Apple devices... Is it possible to implement this functionality on Android devices ? I have an asus transformer 2 tablet, and it would be great if the pano could rotate with the device, as it is today possible with an Ipad !

HI,
As far as I know the only thing preventing this from working is the device.
It has to be able to pass the data from the gyro to the browser, which the iDevices do.
If and Android device can do this then the HTML5 output should be able to use it.

I confirm, it works with my html5 skin on the Android device Asus transformer 2, but absolutely not smooth, very jerky, moving for no reason. If you want I can upload you a video. Where does it come from ? The bad support of the html5 in the browser ? A bad interpretation of the gyro infos ?
