# GameInputSensorAccuracy

> GameInputSensorAccuracy

Enumerates levels of accuracy for sensors.

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
enum GameInputSensorAccuracy
{
    GameInputSensorAccuracyUnknown      = 0x00000000,
    GameInputSensorAccuracyUnreliable   = 0x00000001,
    GameInputSensorAccuracyApproximate  = 0x00000002,
    GameInputSensorAccuracyHigh         = 0x00000003
};
```

## Constants

| Constant | Description |
| - | - |
| GameInputSensorAccuracyUnknown | The accuracy is currently not available. |
| GameInputSensorAccuracyUnreliable | The actual and reported values have a high degree of inaccuracy. |
| GameInputSensorAccuracyApproximate | The actual and reported values differ but may be accurate enough for some |
| application. | |
| GameInputSensorAccuracyHigh | The actual and reported values are accurate. |

## Remarks

Determine the degree of accuracy that is required for your application's needs. To improve accuracy, ask the user to
calibrate their compass by moving the device in a figure-8 pattern. We suggest doing this no more than every 10 minutes.
