Microsoft finally released an SDK for the Microsoft Band! The Band is very much designed for health and fitness uses with many sensors. But, it is certainly not limited to health uses. Because we have access to the sensors and can interact with the device, we can use the Band to enhance and extend your app. Working with Band essentially means communicating with the Band from the app installed on the device.
There are 4 main areas that we can interact with the Band:
- Reading information from the Sensors
- Creating themed app Tiles
- Sending Messages to the Band
- Theming and Personalizing the Band
