Device capabilities allow your app to access peripheral and internal devices. Device capabilities are specified by using DeviceCapability elements in your app package manifest.

Device Capabilities
Option	Description
Bluetooth	The bluetooth device capability allows apps to communicate with already paired bluetooth devices over both Generic Attribute (GATT) or Classic Basic Rate (RFCOMM) protocol.
Eye Tracker	The gazeInput capability allows apps to detect where the user is looking within the application bounds when a compatible eye tracking device is connected.
Location	The location capability provides access to location functionality that is retrieved from dedicated hardware like a GPS sensor in the PC or is derived from available network info.
GPIO, I2C, SPI, and PWM (Low Level)	The lowLevel device capability provides access to GPIO, I2C, SPI, and PWM devices.
Microphone	The microphone capability provides access to the microphone's audio feed, which allows the app to record audio from connected microphones.
Point of Service (POS)	The pointOfService device capability enables access to APIs. This APIs provide a vendor-neutral interface for accessing POS devices from various manufacturers from a UWP app.
Proximity	The proximity capability enables multiple devices in close proximity to communicate with one another. This capability is typically used in casual multi-player games and in apps that exchange information. Devices attempt to use the communication technology that provides the best possible connection, including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and the Internet. This capability is used only to initiate communication between the devices.
Webcam	The webcam capability provides access to the video feed of a built-in camera or external webcam, which allows the app to capture photos and videos. The webcam capability only grants access to the video stream. In order to grant access to the audio stream as well, the microphone capability must be added.
