Why no touch/tilt commands in HTML5?

It seems a shame that the HTML5 target doesn't incorporate tilt/touch commands.

Built-in touch for HTML5 is a big wish for me too.

Got tilt working. Take a look here:

Make the changes that IndiePath proposes and then change the following line:

theApp.input.OnDeviceMotion(x, y, z);

to:

app.input.OnDeviceMotion(x, y, z);

Pardon my ignorance, but do this work in non-html (ios target)? Considering they seem to be quite helpful there :)

iOS and android already have touch/tilt commands, and since v50 so does html5.

This thread is obsolete.
