What is Ambient Computing Technology?

Ambient Computing is one of the new technology terms. For the past few years, technology companies have been trying to integrate computing platforms into our daily lives. It is a system that means that we will benefit from this technology even if we are not aware of it in all areas of our lives.

What is Ambient Computing?

These technologies, called “Ambient Computing - Media computing”, perform calculations without any command. Ambient means "environment". Based on this, we can understand that these devices will be so integrated in your environment that you will not even be aware. Everything that happens to you will consist of these technologies. This technology is very different from smartphones and smartwatches.

Ambient Computing technology is a world equipped with devices that adjust itself to meet the environment without any manual operation.

The purpose of media computing is to eliminate friction between man and computer. Instead of actively setting up devices or interacting with them, the devices respond to your operations based on the interaction with your environment. For example, a device with an ambient smart thermostat, to adjust the room temperature, when the person enters the room, to adjust the temperature according to the interaction that occurs in the environment.

How Ambient Computing Works?

Media computing is a technology used to combine various technologies such as motion tracking with sensors, Internet of Things (IoT) , speech recognition, wearable devices  and artificial intelligence to fulfill its task .

Ambient computing technology makes everything automatic by detecting itself. Whether you are aware of the availability of that technology or not, the sensors are activated according to the interaction of the environment and the related devices act and perform their duty.

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the network between objects that allow them to transfer data to each other. It allows different devices to communicate with each other. Your smartphone connects to your lights, the light sensor connects to your alarm clock, etc. With the combination of artificial intelligence and IoT technology, these devices can shape themselves according to your behavior. For example; As soon as you enter the living room, a room sensor can detect your presence and your speakers can start reading the news of the day.
