Microsoft showed off a broad new range of hardware today at the Windows 8 developer preview, including touchscreen tablets and monitors, which will benefit from greater support for sensors like accelerometers, gyrometers, and compasses. To make sure the Windows 8 touch interface works across multiple devices from different manufacturers, Microsoft said it is using technologies such as robotic fingers to test the responsiveness of touchscreens.
A new API that ties together accelerometers, gyrometers, and compasses will make it easier for developers to use all three types of sensors while building applications.
