Promising a future of nearly an unseeable technology that will fade and blend into our everyday lives, Ambient Computing offers a guided evolution to a hi-tech world.

Ambient Computing/ Ambient Intelligence/ Pervasive Computing/ Calm Computing or Ubiquitous Computing refers to an environment where technology is infused to help and benefit without human commands. Common examples are doors with motion sensors, smart thermostats, or escalators that enter power-saving mode when no passengers are detected. Bringing to us a new age of the smart world, this technology holds a strong partnership with IoT devices, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Big Data and human activity to perform its magic. Using a background of sensors and light and sound to operate, Ambient Computing has not only simplified lives but has also streamlined processes in Healthcare, Retail and Agriculture.

Moving at a meteoric speed and promising an intuitive future of devices that will control the environment without human intervention, will seamless Ambient Computing make us dance to its tunes?
