In various embodiments, a lighting control apparatus (100) may include logic such as a controller (102, 202, 302, 502) and a thermal imaging sensor (108, 208, 308, 408a-b, 508) operably coupled with the controller. The thermal imaging sensor may have at least one field of view (110, 210, 310, 410a-b, 510) pointed at a surface (112, 212, 312, 412a-b, 512, 612). The surface may exhibit various degrees of thermal conductivity. The controller may be configured to: receive a signal from the thermal imaging sensor, the signal being indicative of heat (114) captured by the surface and sensed by the thermal imaging sensor. Based on the signal received from the thermal imaging sensor, the controller may cause one or more light sources (104, 204, 304, 504) to emit light having one or more selected properties.

An input/output device includes a projection unit that projects projected images on a projection surface and an imaging unit that captures the projection surface. In switching an execution between the projection unit and the imaging unit, in a case where an indicator is included in captured images captured by the imaging unit, the input/output device suppresses projection of the projected images by the projection unit and prioritizes imaging by the imaging unit. In switching an execution between the projection unit and the imaging unit, in a case where an indicator is not included in captured images captured by the imaging unit, the input/output device suppresses imaging by the imaging unit and executes projection by the projection unit.

A shape changeable apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a space forming section, a fluid controller, a signal emitter, a detector, and a generator. The space forming section forms a space, and includes a deformable member that is arranged in contact with the space. The fluid controller is capable of deforming the member by controlling a flow of fluid with respect to the space. The signal emitter emits a signal into the space. The detector is arranged out of contact with the member within the space, and detects the emitted signal. The generator generates information regarding the deformation of the member on the basis of a result of the detection performed by the detector.

A position detection device includes an imaging unit that captures an image of light emitted by the spontaneous emission pointing element on the operation surface and generates a captured image; a detection unit that detects the pointing position based on the spontaneous emission pointing element on the basis of the captured image; and a correction unit that corrects the pointing position, using a correction value determined in accordance with a tip offset which is a distance between a contact position at which the spontaneous emission pointing element comes into contact with the operation surface and an emission position of the spontaneous emission pointing element. The correction unit corrects the pointing position using a correction value varying according to a position on the operation surface.

Devices and optical sensor modules are provided for provide on-screen optical sensing of fingerprints by using a under-screen optical sensor module that captures and detects returned light that is emitted by the display screen for displaying images and that is reflected back by the top surface of the screen assembly.
