    Recent model Toughbook's manuals read:

    This computer is equipped with four sensors (acceleration sensor, gyro sensor, magnetic sensor, ambient light sensor), and you can use these sensors with any software that is compatible.

    What sort of software can use these sensors and what could it do? Particularly intrigued by the magnetic sensor

    Maybe Magnetic Compass software in Microsoft Store if you are running Windows
