Physical computing: Art & Products

Physical computing involves interactive systems that can sense and respond to the world around them.[clarification needed] While this definition is broad enough to encompass systems such as smart automotive traffic control systems or factory automation processes, it is not commonly used to describe them. In a broader sense, physical computing is a…
