A smart mirror can show live or recorded streaming video of an instructor performing a workout in a package that is attractive and unobtrusive enough to hang in a living room. The smart mirror includes a mirror surface with a fully reflecting section and a partially reflecting section. A display behind the partially reflecting section shows the video when the smart mirror is on and is almost invisible when the smart mirror is off. The smart mirror also has a speaker, a microphone, and a camera to enable a user to view the video content and interact with the instructor. The smart mirror may connect to the user's smart phone, a peripheral device (e.g., a Bluetooth speaker) to augment user experience, a biometric sensor to provide biometric data to assess user performance, and/or a network router to connect the smart mirror to a content provider, an instructor, and/or other users.

Detecting a chewing noise from a user during a chewing session, triggering operation of a camera, obtaining image data capturing a food product, identifying the food product based on image data, determining a measurement of the chewing session, determining a volume of the food product based on the measurement of the chewing session, and determining a calorie intake based on the food product, the volume of the food product, and the measurement of the chewing session.

Systems and methods are provided for the design and implementation of experiments that facilitate the investigation of process data. The experiments involve recording the completion of a task by participants and then playing back the video of task completion to automatically probe participants about their affective, behavioral, and cognitive experiences. As a result of this system, information about affective, behavioral, and cognitive processes can be more easily investigated by researchers without computer programming knowledge. Corresponding apparatuses, systems, and methods are also discussed.

In order to achieve the above object, an information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes an evaluation unit. The evaluation unit sets an evaluation value relating to an educational situation on the basis of a correlation between educator action information, which is a classification result obtained by classifying an action of an educator into one of a plurality of educator action patterns, and learner action information, which is a classification result obtained by classifying an action of a learner into one of a plurality of learner action patterns.

A parameterized sensory system uses interactions with a graphical user interface to reduce a disturbance level associated with information particular to a user. Parameters indicative of a reminder phrase related to the information and an initial rating for the disturbance level are received. The graphical user interface is operated. Input indicative of interaction with the graphical element during the operation of the graphical user interface is received. Another parameter indicative of a new rating for the disturbance level is received thereafter. The user interaction causes a reduction to the disturbance level such that the new rating is lower than the initial rating. The user interaction is without active processing by the user as to the reminder phrase or the information such that the cause of the reduction to the disturbance level is related to the user interaction with the input interface without the active processing.
