What do you think Physical Computing is?
"Physical Computing is an approach to learning how humans communicate through computers that starts by considering how humans express themselves physically." - Tom Igoe
Physical Computing
"A lot of beginning computer interface design instruction takes the computer hardware for given — namely, that there is a keyboard, a screen, perhaps speakers, and a mouse — and concentrates on teaching the software necessary to design within those boundaries. In physical computing, we take the human body as a given, and attempt to design within the limits of its expression."
What is a microcontroller?
An electronic component that acts as a brain. It both receives electronic signals and responds to those signals based on how it is programmed.
