/// \class sf::Sensor
/// \ingroup window
///
/// sf::Sensor provides an interface to the state of the
/// various sensors that a device provides. It only contains static
/// functions, so it's not meant to be instantiated.
///
/// This class allows users to query the sensors values at any
/// time and directly, without having to deal with a window and
/// its events. Compared to the SensorChanged event, sf::Sensor
/// can retrieve the state of a sensor at any time (you don't need to
/// store and update its current value on your side).
///
/// Depending on the OS and hardware of the device (phone, tablet, ...),
/// some sensor types may not be available. You should always check
/// the availability of a sensor before trying to read it, with the
/// sf::Sensor::isAvailable function.
///
/// You may wonder why some sensor types look so similar, for example
/// Accelerometer and Gravity / UserAcceleration. The first one
/// is the raw measurement of the acceleration, and takes into account
/// both the earth gravity and the user movement. The others are
/// more precise: they provide these components separately, which is
/// usually more useful. In fact they are not direct sensors, they
/// are computed internally based on the raw acceleration and other sensors.
/// This is exactly the same for Gyroscope vs Orientation.
///
/// Because sensors consume a non-negligible amount of current, they are
/// all disabled by default. You must call sf::Sensor::setEnabled for each
/// sensor in which you are interested.
///
/// Usage example:
/// \code
/// if (sf::Sensor::isAvailable(sf::Sensor::Gravity))
/// {
///     // gravity sensor is available
/// }
///
/// // enable the gravity sensor
/// sf::Sensor::setEnabled(sf::Sensor::Gravity, true);
///
/// // get the current value of gravity
/// sf::Vector3f gravity = sf::Sensor::getValue(sf::Sensor::Gravity);
/// \endcode
///
