With the recent launch of the 3rd Generation Intel Core Processors, Intel has introduced a new breed of Ultrabook and it’s a game-changer. Ultrabooks and Convertibles based on the 3rd Generation Intel Core Processors come with new touch and sensor features. In this blog, we will focus on the sensors and how to detect their presence on an Ultrabook running Windows 8:

What sensors are available for the Ultrabook/Convertible

What sensors are recommended/required for the Ultrabook/Convertible

How to determine which sensors are on an Ultrabook


New Sensors Available for the Ultrabook/Convertible

There are 5 Sensors relevant to the Ultrabook/Convertibles:


Compass

Accelerometer

Gyroscope

GPS

Ambient Light Sensor
Evidently there is at the moment only a Windows-based program to detect the sensors, but that will surely change. Perhaps there is a C program upon which the Windows program is based.
