I received a request for an app that has to make calculations based on steps of a person (Step counter), and I would like to use Glide.  
I am not familiar with steps counters and accelerometers embedded on Android or Apple devices.  
Any advice / suggestion?  
Thanks!  
Piero

This is quite impossible right now as most mobile web browser has very limited access to the accelerometer.

There is a source code for an accelerometer for mobile that I tested, only works on Firefox and was rather wonky.

I didn’t continue after that.
