## What it is
A UWP sample application from Microsoft showcasing hands-free kiosk-style demos built on Azure Cognitive Services (Face, Computer Vision, Text Analytics, Bing Search, Anomaly Detector). It uses webcam input as the primary interaction mode and requires Visual Studio 2019 and API keys to run.

## Use cases
- demo face detection and recognition from a webcam
- try out azure cognitive services apis in a sample app
- build a hands-free kiosk experience with computer vision
- visualize news sentiment and topics with text analytics
- perform bing visual search on webcam images
- learn anomaly detection with live data streams

## When to choose
- you want working C# examples of Azure Cognitive Services APIs
- you need a Windows 10 UWP demo app driven by webcam input
- you are exploring face, vision, text, and search AI scenarios end to end

## When to avoid
- you need a cross-platform or Linux solution
- you want a production-ready application rather than sample code
- you cannot obtain Azure Cognitive Services API keys
- you need actively maintained software with recent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: computer-vision, nlp, machine-learning, image-processing, data-visualization
- domain: artificial-intelligence, computer-vision, developer-tools, windows
