# Sensors introduction

Sensors are [`InputDevice` instances](xref:UnityEngine.InputSystem.InputDevice) that measure environmental characteristics of the device that the content is running on. Unity currently supports sensors on iOS and Android. Android supports a wider range of sensors than iOS.

For a list of platforms that support sensors, refer to [Supported devices reference](supported-devices-reference.md).
