In accordance with various embodiments, described herein is a system (Data Artificial Intelligence system, Data AI system), for use with a data integration or other computing environment, that leverages machine learning (ML, DataFlow Machine Learning, DFML), for use in managing a flow of data (dataflow, DF), and building complex dataflow software applications (dataflow applications, pipelines). In accordance with an embodiment, the system can provide data governance functionality such as, for example, provenance (where a particular data came from), lineage (how the data was acquired/processed), security (who was responsible for the data), classification (what is the data about), impact (how impactful is the data to a business), retention (how long should the data live), and validity (whether the data should be excluded/included for analysis/processing), for each slice of data pertinent to a particular snapshot in time; which can then be used in making lifecycle decisions and dataflow recommendations.

Gesture-controlled virtual reality systems and methods of controlling the same are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes an on-body sensor to output first signals associated with at least one of movement of a body part of a user or a position of the body part relative to a virtual object and an off-body sensor to output second signals associated with at least one of the movement or the position relative to the virtual object. The apparatus also includes at least one processor to generate gesture data based on at least one of the first or second signals, generate position data based on at least one of the first or second signals, determine an intended action of the user relative to the virtual object based on the position data and the gesture data, and generate an output of the virtual object in response to the intended action.

A touch panel includes a first substrate, a liquid crystal layer, a second substrate, a first optical detection layer, and a black matrix. The first optical detection layer is over a light-emitting surface of the liquid crystal layer and includes a plurality of first optical detection components, whose orthographic projections on the first substrate are within an orthographic projection of the black matrix. A touch control can be determined based on a change of a first electric signal converted by each first optical detection component based on an intensity of a light transmitting through the liquid crystal layer. The light can be an infrared light. A plurality of second optical detection components can be further disposed over a light-incident surface of the liquid crystal layer to pairingly correspond to, and utilized to determine a touch control along with, the plurality of first optical detection components.

A smart toilet with a bidet, and a midair input display. The input display is bacterial free, due to the display being made of air molecules excited by lasers, that produce lights in midair. The produced lights are holograms. A user contacts the holograms, with their finger. The holograms have a touch feel. Contact with one of the holograms with the finger, is detected by a camera, and is associated to an activation of the hologram, and an activation of a bidet operation associated to the hologram. Each hologram shows a different operation of the bidet, by either the hologram or a sign associated to the hologram. Some of the operations of the bidet, wash the user's elimination areas, with water directed from the bidet. Some of the bidet operations include, bidet back wash, front wash, change of bidet water temperature, and change of water pressure.

A method, including receiving, by a computer, a two-dimensional image (2D) containing at least a physical surface and segmenting the physical surface into one or more physical regions. A functionality is assigned to each of the one or more physical regions, each of the functionalities corresponding to a tactile input device, and a sequence of three-dimensional (3D) maps is received, the sequence of 3D maps containing at least a hand of a user of the computer, the hand positioned on one of the physical regions. The 3D maps are analyzed to detect a gesture performed by the user, and based on the gesture, an input is simulated for the tactile input device corresponding to the one of the physical regions.

An optical display, including a first waveguide having a first set of surfaces, an input grating, a fold grating, and an output grating; an image input image node assembly; and a prismatic relay optics is provided. The prismatic relay optics may be configured to be optomechanically connected to the waveguide and the input image node assembly.
