Descrizione progetto:
SensiGator is an educational app that introduces sensor-augmented navigation for Bing Maps. It incorporates the Bing Maps WPF control DLL and taps into many of the Lenovo ThinkPad tablet's built-in sensors to create a unique map exploration experience. The name "SensiGator" is a portmanteau combining the words "Sensor" and "Navigator".

Uso degli strumenti/SDK Intel:
Nearly all of my development work entails the interaction of software with external hardware devices, but in this competition I wanted to deliver an app that would stand alone and not require any external interfaces. The sensor hub built into the Lenovo tablet seemed to satisfy my desire to interface with hardware elements, so I opted to submit project proposals that utilized these features. SensiGator was developed from the ground up as a C#/WPF app. All of the development and debugging was done on the Lenovo tablet itself, starting by downloading and installing Visual Studio 2012 Express on the tablet. Operation and installation testing was performed on both the Lenovo tablet and an Ultrabook computer that was awarded to me in last year's AIC. A special note of thanks to Intel Corp. is in order here, as they have been very generous in the support they offer to developers in these competitions.
Funzioni peculiari:
According to Microsoft, the Bing Maps WPF control combines the power of Windows Presentation Foundation and Bing Maps to provide an enhanced mapping experience. SensiGator takes this experience one step further by allowing a user to navigate the world map using information from the tablet's built-in sensors. This creates a navigation experience similar to gliding in an aircraft, which includes a semi-transparent "head-up" display showing real-time location and map navigation data. SensiGator taps into the tablet's Inclinometer, Gyrometer, Compass, Orientation, and Geolocator sensor data to provide this real-time navigation experience.
