Overview
flutter_use_sensors is a Flutter package that provides reactive hooks for accessing device sensors such as accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer. It enables real-time motion detection and device orientation tracking in Android, iOS, and web applications. Built with simplicity and performance in mind, it integrates seamlessly with Flutter's state management, allowing developers to reactively respond to sensor data changes without boilerplate code. Ideal for interactive apps requiring motion-based interactions or orientation-aware UIs.
