    \title Qt Sensors
    \brief Provides access to sensors via QML and C++ interfaces.
    \since 5.1

    The Qt Sensors API provides access to sensor hardware via QML and C++ interfaces.
    The Qt Sensors API also provides a motion gesture recognition API for devices.

    Currently the API is supported on \l{Qt for Android}{Android}, \l{Qt for BlackBerry}{BlackBerry 10},
    \l{Qt for iOS}{iOS}, \l{https://sailfishos.org}{SailFish} and \l{Qt for WinRT}{WinRT}.
