Does anyone have any ideas for options of using the windows 8 API for sensor data (orientation, etc) and multitouch/stylus data with processing? I'm not so interested in writing a metro style app or anything, just in getting sensor and multitouch events as usable data in a standard processing sketch (with access to java libraries/etc).
I think quite a bit has changed since windows 7, and the API seems to have some good data, but can currently only be accessed through Javascript/C++/C#/VB. Here is a link to the pages of interest for the sensor aspects of the API for Windows 8:
I don't know what the best option would be for communication...writing an app in one of the other languages that sends a value to processing seems really inefficient. Is there maybe an easy way of accessing the javascript variables in a standard processing sketch? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated by a novice programmer!
