Can laptop's web camera used in the latest Hololens emulator ?
I'm following this tutorial https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/mixed-reality/mr-azure-302 to integrate MS Computer Vision API into Hololens.
I want to test this in the Hololens emulator before moving to the device. So, Will I be able to enable Web Cam for recognizing objects using vision API.I'm using Hololens Emulator 10.0 version.
The simple answer is No. HL has own cameras, not compatible with a webcam.
Update. For the case, I would recommend creating video processing library and test it in simple desktop application.
I want to develop a windows 8 metro app (C# and XAML) which support the bluetooth low energy(BLE) feature. I found a sample Windows Phone app for this.I tried to convert to Windows 8 app, but some features are not supporting in Windows 8 like Windows.Devices.Bluetooth.BluetoothLEDevice . Is there any Windows 8 application for BLE? Please help me.
Please see the link: Windows phone app for BLE

I am trying to decide between a Kinect 360 + an adapter or a Kinect for Windows v1 for my project.
Can the Kinect 360 be used in the same way as Kinect for Windows through the SDK?
I will be mainly working with websockets for a web app.
Yes the kinect 360 can be accessed through the v1.8 SDK. The difference is that you aren't allowed to use the kinect 360 in a commercial project.
I am newbie to windows platform.
I have few questions mentioned below.
What's diff between Windows 8 metro style app and the Windows 8 mobile app?
What diff languages I can use to develop windows mobile app?
The answers to above questions will quickstart my windows mobile development.
Waiting for your responses.
They are basically the same except for some API that are available for phone only
Windows Phone 8 now shares a common core with Windows 8. This means you can expect to write apps for one and easily port it to the other, with UI retooling of course. Developers targeting both should use C#/VB + XAML and JS for apps, and C++/D3D for games.
VB/C# + XAML, C++ + DirectX (for complex graphics), JS can be used Windows 8 surface but not with phone (got this from jump start to windows 8)
I am new to Windows Phone applications and Windows 8 Apps. All I know about windows 8 is the metro style and the news that it will run on the PCs, tablets and Phones as well.
I want to get started developing an App for an expected Windows 8 Phone Device. All the guideline I found for windows 8 is for developing the apps for windows 8 tablets or PCs (not phones). Here is a link for windows 8 SDK, I am looking at.
Should I start developing a regular windows 8 app (for tablet) assuming that it will run on the expected upcoming windows 8 phone device?
Does anyone have any idea?
Microsoft has made very few announcements so far on the developer story for Windows Phone 8. What little news has been announced can be viewed in the Windows Phone Summit video here:
http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Windows-Phone/Summit
The only statement made so far regarding development across the two platforms is that applications developed using C# and Xaml will have "high compatibility" between Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8.
Windows Phone 8 is due out later this year so hopefully development tools aren't far off. If you want to get started right away I recommend you try your hand at developing a Windows 8 application using C# and Xaml. That should catch you up to speed and get you prepared for Windows Phone 8.

I think there is nothing really official about the development of applications windows phone 8 (except as regards the integration of the new features of future devices). Everything in internet indicates that one of the reasons that drove microsoft to update wp7 is precisely the desire to converge development for windows 8 with development for windows phone8. This convergence will be visual (for example the pivot layout will be characterized by a single page horizontally scrollable similar to windows 8 apps) and under the hood (with a kernel very similar).
The enhanced hardware will perform more complex operations (thus tending toward user experience similar to pc).
What we also know that in some metro style app in actual microsoft store someone found comments in the source related to the integration of the app in windows phone 8.
What I can suggest then is to develop your app for windows 8. In all likelihood make the porting to Windows phone 8 will be simple (different sized images for backgrounds, different icons, but side code probably will not change anything).
