Clap detection for Metro App

Question

Hi all,

I'd like to be able to detect any claps that come through a connected microphone. There are algorithms out there (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/499795/given-an-audio-stream-find-when-a-door-slams-sound-pressure-level-calculation), but as far as getting samples and measuring their energy using WinRT or other Windows APIs I am at a loss. I looked at BUILD session 783 but that seems a little beyond what I need (also I haven't touched C++ for about 8 years!). Any direction, documentation, or tips people can give?

Ta,

Kyle

Hi Kyle,

This is not really a Metro Style application question correct?  I think once you have your algorithm and language choice selected then you should be able to accomplish what you want.  Am I misunderstanding the problem?
