  • Physical computingFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Physical computing, in the broadest sense, means building interactive physical systems by the use of software andhardware that can sense and respond to the analog world. While this definition is broad enough to encompass things such assmart automotive traffic control systems or factory automation processes, it is not commonly used to describe them. In thebroad sense, physical computing is a creative framework for understanding human beings' relationship to the digital world.In practical use, the term most often describes handmade art, design or DIY hobby projects that use sensors andmicrocontrollers to translate analog input to a software system, and/or control electro-mechanical devices such as motors,servos, lighting or other hardware.

    Examples

    Physical computing is used in a wide variety of domains and applications.

    In museums

    The Exploratorium, a pioneer in inquiry based learning, developed some of the earliest interactive exhibitry involvingcomputers, and continues to include more and more examples of physical computing and tangible interfaces as associatedtechnologies progress.

    In art

    In the art world, projects that implement physical computing include the work of Scott Snibbe, Daniel Rozin, RafaelLozano-Hemmer, Jonah Brucker-Cohen, Camille Utterback, Virtual Reality VR/shyam, Augmented Reality AR/hiren.

    In product design

    Physical computing practices also exist in the product and interaction design sphere, where hand-built embedded systemsare sometimes used to rapidly prototype new digital product concepts in a cost-efficient way. Firms such as IDEO andTeague are known to approach product design in this way.

    In commercial applications

  • Commercial implementations range from consumer devices such as the Sony Eyetoy or games such as Dance DanceRevolution to more esoteric and pragmatic uses such as machine vision used in the automation of quality inspection along afactory assembly line. Exergaming can be considered a form of physical computing. Other implementations of physicalcomputing include voice recognition, which senses and interprets sound waves via microphones or other soundwave sensingdevices, and computer vision, which applies algorithms to a rich stream of video data typically sensed by some form ofcamera. Haptic interfaces are also an example of physical computing, though in this case the computer is generating thephysical stimulus as opposed to sensing it. Both motion capture and gesture recognition are fields that rely on computervision to work their magic.

    In scientific applications

    Physical computing can also describe the fabrication and use of custom sensors or collectors for scientific experiments,though the term is rarely used to describe them as such.

    Methods

    Prototyping plays an important role in Physical Computing. Tools like the Wiring_(development_platform), Arduino andFritzing as well as I-CubeX help designers and artists to quickly prototype their interactive concepts.
