  • There exist tilt switches that simply report their tilt-state via
    some gpios. The number and orientation of their axes can vary
    depending on the switch used and the build of the device. Also two
    or more one-axis switches could be combined to provide multi-dimensional
    orientation.

    One example of a device using such a switch is the family of Qisda
    ebook readers, where the switch provides information about the
    landscape / portrait orientation of the device. The example in
    Documentation/input/gpio-tilt.txt documents exactly this one-axis
    device.
