Realinput
RealInput is a term used in information technology and data processing to denote input data that originates from actual events or devices, rather than from simulations, tests, or generated artifacts. It encompasses human-operated input, such as keyboard keystrokes and mouse movements, as well as sensor and device signals, such as environmental measurements, telemetry, and analog or digital sensor channels.
In practice, real input is characterized by its timing, variability, and potential noise. Systems handling real
Technical considerations include sampling rate, debouncing for mechanical switches, calibration, unit normalization, and error handling. For
Common applications include interactive software interfaces, data acquisition and lab instrumentation, robotics and automation, and real-time
