👉 Buried computing refers to the practice of embedding computational capabilities within physical devices or environments, often in a way that makes these capabilities less apparent to the end-user. This can involve integrating sensors, microcontrollers, and processing units into everyday objects like appliances, vehicles, or even infrastructure, enabling them to collect, process, and respond to data autonomously. For example, smart home systems use buried computing to monitor and control various devices without requiring constant user interaction. This approach enhances efficiency, provides real-time data processing, and can lead to more intelligent and adaptive environments, though it also raises concerns about privacy and security.
