Step 11So what is Physical Computing?
Physical computing is using our own physical inputs and using microcontollers or computers to control outputs.
Sure you can build a wild robot with the Arduino as Landon Cox has done: Landon Cox's Bot. But you can also wire sensors, LED's servos, displays and make art, express yourself, interpret our own physical inputs, or create a masterful adaptive device to help the disabled.
Tom Igoe is much more eloquent at describing Physical Computing: Tom Igoe.
Be creative, experiment, explore, solve a problem, and have fun doing it!
