## Value

The `acceleration` property is an object providing information about
acceleration on three axis. Each axis is represented with its own property:
acceleration on the three axes in the [Device coordinate frame](/en-US/docs/Web/API/Device_orientation_events/Orientation_and_motion_data_explained#device_coordinate_frame). Each axis is represented with its own property:

- `x`
- : Represents the acceleration upon the x axis which is the west to east axis
- : Represents the acceleration along the x axis
- `y`
- : Represents the acceleration upon the y axis which is the south to north axis
- : Represents the acceleration along the y axis
- `z`
- : Represents the acceleration upon the z axis which is the down to up axis
- : Represents the acceleration along the z axis
