Desktop Applications

Why desktop ?

Desktop applications can:Use Win32/COM API.NET APIUse almost any languages (C, C++, C#, etc.)

Native libraries and Windows Store ApplicationsMost of the Windows 7/XP libraries are no more available

Agenda

Enable some of the Windows 8 featuresSensors in desktop applications (WinRT)

Improve your applications with IntelPerceptual ComputingIPP/MKLMedia SDKPhoneGap / Cordova

Sensors in desktop applications

Desktop and Sensors

Win32 is a complex APIYou need to configure the objects you manipulateBig number of lines of code

Use WinRT instead of COM or Win32In desktop applications, devices such as sensors, GPS, etc. are available through WinRT and easy to use.
