This sample demonstrates the use of the Windows.Devices.Sensors.Altimeter API.
This sample allows the user to view the change in altitude reading as a value in meters. You can choose one of two scenarios:
- Altimeter Data Events
- Polling Altimeter Readings
When you choose the Enable button for the Data Events option, the app will begin streaming Altimeter readings in real time.
When you choose the Get Data button for the Polling option, the app will retrieve the current sensor readings.
