Demo SIP and Input Scope

Input

Accelerometer Measures force applied on each axis over time +Y -Y +X -X +Z -Z

Demo Accelerometer

Audio Input  Mic input  Gives access to raw PCM WAV data  Calls BufferReady event at regular intervals  Call the GetData method from the BufferReady event or as often as your app requires  10ms latency

Web Browser Control  Displays network and local content  Supports pan, double tap and pinch to zoom  Supports transforms  Application can interact with javascript  Disabled by default

Silverlight to Script function runScriptStuff(arg1, arg2) { return “awesome”; } string out = wb.InvokeScript("runScriptStuff", arg1, arg2); Silverlight javascript

Script to Silverlight window.external.Notify(string); void wb_ScriptNotify(object s, NotifyEventArgs e) { string return = e.Value; } Silverlight javascript

Integrating with the OS  Hub integration  Enhance the built in hubs with your application  Launchers let you fire and forget to an OS app  SMS, , web browser, maps, dialer, search, etc  Choosers are like an open file dialog  Launches an OS experience for letting the user choose data for the app  Picture, contact, camera, etc

Hub Integration – Media History  Apps can insert entries into the history list

Hub Integration - Photos  Your app can integrate with the OS image viewer  One click away from extras menu

Demo SMS and Camera Capture

Launchers & Choosers Launchers  BingMapsTask  MarketplaceLauncher  MediaPlayerLauncher  PhoneCallTask  PhoneNumberChooserTask  PhotoChooserTask  Save AddressTask  SavePhoneNumberTask  SearchTask  SMSComposeTask  WebBrowserTask Choosers  CameraCaptureTask  AddressChooserTask  ComposeTask

Silverlight 3 API Delta  Application model  Out of Browser APIs  Browser & plug-in specific APIs  HTML Dom Bridge  Machine information  GpuInformation  Analytics  Custom shaders  Media markers and attributes

Usability Study There will be Windows Phone focus groups on Wednesday, March 17th at 10am, 11:30am, and 2pm in the Mandalay Bay If you are interested in participating in these focus groups or future Windows Phone research, please
