Fun with Sensors and APIs for the web!

Developments in Sensor & Browser Apis has opened up many opportunities for your website to react and respond based on the users device, environment or input. As of right now there are many great Sensor & Browser APIs that you can take advantage of including Light Sensors, Gyroscopes and Audio and because these APIs are all available in more devices than you would think they are more accessible than ever. In this presentation we’ll talk through the possibilities, tools and resources as well as exploring some of my favourite features so you can get started creating engaging and creative effects, visualisations and experiences in your projects tomorrow.
