Smart Environments
Smart environments are spaces equipped with technology that enhances the way people interact with their surroundings. These environments use sensors, devices, and networks to collect data and automate processes, making everyday tasks more efficient. Examples include smart homes, where appliances can be controlled remotely, and smart offices, which optimize energy use and improve productivity.
In a smart environment, systems can communicate with each other to create a seamless experience. For instance, Internet of Things (IoT) devices can adjust lighting and temperature based on occupancy, while artificial intelligence (AI) can analyze data to predict user needs. This integration leads to increased comfort, safety, and sustainability.
