With this SDK you can access the following band sensors:

Accelerometer:
Provides X, Y, and Z acceleration in meters per second squared (m/s2) units.

Gyroscope
Provides X, Y, and Z angular velocity in degrees per second (°/sec) units.

Distance :
Provides the total distance in centimeters, current speed in centimeters per second (cm/s), current pace in milliseconds per meter (ms/m), and the current pedometer mode (such as walking or running).

Heart Rate 
Provides the number of beats per minute, also indicates if the heart rate sensor is fully locked onto the wearer’s heart rate.

Pedometer 
Provides the total number of steps the wearer has taken.

Skin Temperature
Provides the current skin temperature of the wearer in degrees Celius.

UV
Provides the current ultra violet radition exposure intensity.

Provides a way to let the developer know if someone is currently wearing the device.

Be creative, and if you develop an application with this SDK, don't hesitate to give your feedback and to share it with us...

I- Introduction, OpenCV and EMGU Do you know OpenCV ( Open Source Computer Vision Library:  https://opencv.org/ ) ?  This open source library let's you work and play with images and videos with a lot of powerful image processing algorithms !  If you want some details, I suggest you to first navigate to the link above or search for 'OpenCV' on Google.  Examples of OpenCV processing found on the web (filters, object detection, edges...): EMGU is a .NET OpenCV wrapper. That means that you will be able to use OpenCV functionnalities in your .NET projects using C# for instance. EMGU is cross platform, so you will also be able to use it in your Xamarin projects !
