SondreB.com | Windows 7: Sensor Platform
Windows 7: Sensor PlatformPosted by SondreB on August 9, 20090 Part of Windows 7 is a completely new platform for Location and Sensors. This is a framework that tries to remove the old legacy of COM-ports for communication with external devices. Even a lot of today's USB devices, still rely on the COM protocol to communicate with the PC. The Location and Sensor Platform in Windows 7 improves this with a modern architecture for arbitrary hardware sensory input. One of the most important advanc... (more)

Make: Online : "Tweetjects"? Noooooo....
In this BBC piece, an IBM engineer on the Isle of Wight, shows off the 16th century thatched cottage that he's wired with sensors and connected to Twitter. In the article that accompanies the video, he uses a term he's apparently coined for objects that tweet: "tweetjects." (more)

IBM and The Internet of Things
IBM is involved in some very interesting projects at the intersection of two big trends we've been tracking in 2009: The Real-time Web and Internet of Things. They have a website devoted to this topic, called A Smarter Planet. As the name implies, it focuses on environmental matters such as energy and food systems. Sensors, RFID tags and real-time messaging software are major parts of IBM's smarter planet strategy. The catchcry for the site - Instrumented, Interconnected, and Intelligent - is about outfi...

Windows XP To Windows 7 - Home
The Windows XP to Windows 7 (XP2Win7) reference application provides a tour of the unique Windows 7 technical features that enable developers to “light up” their applications on Windows 7. The XP2Win7 reference application features the Image Viewer, a WPF application that runs on XP. But the fun starts when you run the same application on Windows 7, which unlocks new technologies such as Taskbar, the Sensors and Location Platform, and Multitouch, as well as “old” Vista friends such as Application Recover...

Jim Travis's Blog : Sensor Constants and VECTOR Types
Sensor Constants and VECTOR Types In the Windows 7 Sensor platform, some properties and data fields contain arrays of information. For example, the SENSORPROPERTYLIGHTRESPONSECURVE property contains an array of 4-byte unsigned integers. However, when you receive such arrays through the Sensor API, they will always represented as type VT_VECTOR|UI1, an array of single-byte characters, regardless of the actual type of the data in the array. This requirement arises because the platform uses the WPD se... (more)
