Details

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Go to https://patrickhlauke.github.io/touch/pen-tracker/ on a device with a stylus (either something like a Surface, or using a Wacom tablet with an advanced stylus that also registers the stylus tilt)
  2. Move the stylus around the digitzers

Actual results:

Notice that altitudeAngle and azimuthAngle are reported as undefined.

Expected results:

While level 3 of the specification is still in draft, I'd love to see an implementation of these two new properties.

https://w3c.github.io/pointerevents/#dom-pointerevent-azimuthangle

As Firefox already supports tiltX/tiltY, it should hopefully be straightforward to backfill these properties following the algorithm sketched out here https://w3c.github.io/pointerevents/#converting-between-tiltx-tilty-and-altitudeangle-azimuthangle
