+## Platform Support
+
+Support for the SensorTypes defined by the Mojo interface is summarized in this
+table. An empty cell indicates that the sensor type is not supported on that
+platform.

+class. The values in the "Android" column of the table above correspond to the
+integer constants from the android.hardware.Sensor used to provide data for a
+SensorType.
+
+### Linux
+
+On Linux (and Chrome OS) sensors are implemented by reading values from the IIO
+subsystem. The values in the "Linux" column of the table above are the prefix
+of the sysfs files Chrome searches for to provide data for a SensorType.
+
+### macOS
+
+On macOS there is limited support for sensors. The AMBIENT_LIGHT sensor type is
+provided by interpreting the value that can be read from the LMU.
+
+### Windows
+
+On Windows sensors are implemented by passing through values provided by the
+[Sensor API](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd318953(v=vs.85).aspx).
+The values in the "Windows" column of the table above correspond to the names of
+the sensor type GUIDs used to provide data for a SensorType.
