v6.11.1
(LGPL-3.0-only OR GPL-2.0-only OR GPL-3.0-only) AND BSD-3-Clause
Qt 6 library providing C++ and QML APIs for accessing device sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, etc.).
Why you might care
QtSensors is a build/runtime dependency for Qt applications that need hardware sensor input on desktop or mobile platforms. It abstracts sensor hardware differences across platforms, offering both C++ and QML interfaces; use it if you're building a Qt app that reads accelerometer, magnetometer, or other device sensors.
