7/8/2014

Review the settings, dependencies and any notes for the Proximity, Sensor and Location module in the Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8) module catalog.

This module provides proximity, sensor and location functionality.

The end user can use a tap gesture to establish a connection between peer applications on separate devices, and the system can subscribe for and publish messages while devices are within range.

Windows Sensor and Location provides a standard way to integrate sensor and location devices into the system and a standard programming interface so that applications can use them. These devices enable the system and applications to react to changes in ambient light, motion, human proximity, and location.
