Choosing the right sensors to use (Windows Store apps using JavaScript and HTML)
You can create both simple and complex apps using sensors. The following table describes each category, the characteristics of that category, example applications, and which sensors you should use.
| App category | Simple | Complex |
|---|---|---|
| App characteristics | App applies changes in velocity to a moving object | App applies data from multiple sensors to adjust the users perspective |
| Examples | Labyrinth game | XNA auto-racing game, augmented reality game, and/or first-person shooter game |
| Requirements | Requires accelerometer input | Requires all three motion sensors and all degrees of freedom |
| Recommended sensors | Accelerometer | When available, OrientationSensor is recommended; however, when not available, you can combine the accelerometer, gyrometer, and compass to obtain similar results |
