# GameInputSensorAccuracy

Enumerates levels of accuracy for sensors.

<a id="syntaxSection" />

## 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.

These values are used in the [GameInputSensorsState](/reference/input/gameinput/structs/gameinputsensorsstate) structure as part of the
[GameInputSensorsCompass](/reference/input/gameinput/enums/gameinputsensorskind) group.
