Understand Physical Computing

What is Physical Computing?

Physical computing is an interdisciplinary field that combines elements of computer science, electronics, and design to create interactive physical systems. It involves the use of hardware components such as sensors, actuators, and microcontrollers to interact with the physical world and respond to inputs from users or the environment. It bridges the gap between the digital and physical realms. Through programming and circuit design, physical computing enables the creation of interactive applications such as wearable devices, smart-home devices, robotics, drones and many other innovative solutions.
