A Lens is a software interface that allows developers to configure and interact with Newton. Lenses define how sensor data flows in and out of Newton and specify how Newton should interpret that data for a given use case. The Lens API creates and manages Lenses.
The Lens API has been deprecated and should no longer be used.
