First things first, we need to get a good grasp of what sensors are and what they can be used for, before we get into the various mini projects that will coincide with each of the SDKs we will be using. This list of sensors is by no means a complete list and are some of the most common ones that we can leverage in AR applications and games:

  • Fingerprint Sensor
  • Radiation Sensor
  • Heart Rate Monitor
  • Pedometer
  • Air Humidity Sensor
  • Thermometer
  • Barometer
  • Light Sensor
  • Proximity Sensor
  • Magnetometer
  • Gyroscope
  • Accelerometer
  • Ambient Light Sensor

  • IR Blaster
  • Touch Sensor
  • Microphone
  • Camera
  • GNSS
  • NFC
  • Laser
  • Air Gesture Sensor
  • Signal Receiver
  • LiFi
  • Clock

In this section, we will describe what each of these sensors is and what they can be ...
