Desktop Applications
Why desktop ?
Desktop applications can:
Use Win32/COM API
.NET API
Use almost any languages (C, C++, C#, etc.)
Native libraries and Windows Store Applications
Most of the Windows 7/XP libraries are no more available
Agenda
Enable some of the Windows 8 features
Sensors in desktop applications (WinRT)
Improve your applications with Intel
Perceptual Computing
IPP/MKL
Media SDK
PhoneGap / Cordova
Sensors in desktop applications
Desktop and Sensors
Win32 is a complex API
You need to configure the objects you manipulate
Big number of lines of code
Use WinRT instead of COM or Win32
In desktop applications, devices such as sensors, GPS, etc.
are available through WinRT and easy to use.
