Abstract:
A guest operating system is provided with access to sensor data indicative of a rotation event from sensors associated with a computing device including a processor executing a host operating system. The guest operating system is launched as a virtual operating system and is executed as a guest of the host operating system. Responsive to changed sensor data indicative of the rotation event detected by at least one sensor associated with the computing device, the changed sensor data is sent to a first application associated with the host operating system via at least one driver executing within a kernel of the host operating system. The changed sensor data is sent from the first application to an application framework associated with the guest operating system. The application framework calculates rotation of the computing device based on the changed sensor data. The calculated rotation is sent to a second application associated with the guest operating system.
