👉 Surrounded computing, also known as ubiquitous or ambient computing, is a paradigm that involves integrating computing devices and services into the physical environment in a way that they are seamlessly integrated and often invisible to users. This approach leverages sensors, connectivity, and intelligent systems to gather and process data from the surroundings, enabling devices to respond to user needs and environmental changes in real-time. For example, smart home systems use surrounded computing to adjust lighting, temperature, and security settings based on the presence and behavior of occupants. Similarly, wearable devices and IoT applications in industrial settings use surrounding computing to provide context-aware assistance, enhancing efficiency and user experience while maintaining a low profile and unobtrusive presence.
