Contextual Sensing introduced With WINDOWS 10, now developers can build apps with newly available APIs that can sense user activities such as walking, driving and working out.

There are several APIs available for contextual sensing

Detection APIs: These APIs attempt to detect activity states based on current MOTION of your customer, such as Walking, Running, In Vehicle, Biking, Stationary, and Idle.

Pedometer API: which counts the user’s steps both when walking and running. As with activity detection, you can access history details for up to 30 days.

Barometer API: it can reports atmospheric PRESSURE.

Proximity API: that can enable a device to wake up or log off based upon the user’s proximity, turn off the display during a phone call, ignore pocket clicks made then the device is in the user’s pocket, and detect gestures.

ALTIMETER API: that reports relative altitude i.e. changes in elevation.
