ISensor interface (sensorsapi.h)

  • Article

Represents a sensor.

You will generally retrieve a pointer to ISensor by calling ISensorCollection::GetAt or ISensorManager::GetSensorByID, but other methods can retrieve this pointer, too. Various other Sensor API methods use a pointer to ISensor to provide information about a particular sensor or to enable you to specify which sensor to use for a particular action.

In addition to the methods inherited from IUnknown, the ISensor interface exposes the following methods.
