Creating a virtual sensor

A virtual sensor allows you to add a sensor to a device, or update a sensor on a device, without needing to write a driver. This approach is mostly used for devices running Windows 10 Mobile. If you are writing sensor updates for desktop devices running Windows 10, it is usually best to deliver your updates in a driver submitted to Windows Update.
