What is Pervasive Computing? Can I Make It?
By: Dr. Maria Seraphina Astriani
Have you ever heard of pervasive computing?
Pervasive computing is a new wave of technology where computing takes the place everywhere and anywhere.
The goal is to become a technology that disappears.
Pervasive computing can be seen as:
- An enabler technology for many new and exciting applications
- Making information accessible to anyone, anywhere, and at any time
Previous pervasive computing was often limited by the physical size of the electronic devices
However, this constraint has been overcome by rapid technological developments.
Examples (products):
- iWatch
- Samsung galaxy watch
- Sony SmartWatch
- Google Glass
You can make a pervasive solution by using Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or other boards
ARDUINO UNO REV3

By using Arduino or Raspberry Pi, you can make the following projects:
- Home automation
- Internet radio
- Custom LED lights on DIY electric skateboard
- Light control (combine it with Amazon Alexa)
- and many more…

Please do not worry if you do not have the board yet.
There is a circuit simulator to help you!
Tinkercad Circuits (https://www.tinkercad.com/) allows anyone to virtually create and program Arduino projects without the need for physical hardware.
Please access https://www.tinkercad.com/learn/overview/O0QHK73ISCC2DXD;collectionId=OMOZACHJ9IR8LRE
to start your first project.
Have fun ^_^
