On mac you can (could?) use the ambient light sensor to achieve something similar, proof of concept here (osx < 10.5 haha): https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/then/squeeky-laptop

iirc there is also a imu in some macbooks to detect a fall and park the hdd heads before the crash? Anyway, always happy to see toys like this!
I think someone also made this for MacBooks: https://github.com/samhenrigold/LidAngleSensor
Newer MacBooks have IMUs as well for the movement dots feature (used to help with screen sickness in vehicles)
