A system controller may provide a shared clock source to multiple illumination peripherals and multiple wearable vision obstruction devices having shutters. The multiple illumination peripherals may selectably turn on and off during different timeslots and the shutters of the multiple wearable vision obstruction devices may selectably occlude and un-occlude vision of users during the different time slots. By modulating the illumination peripherals and the shutters, different users may perceiver different sensory inputs in a shared environment. For instance, users may experience brighter or dimmer illumination, or may experience different types of illumination. One user may view a movie on an LCD screen while the LCD screen appears blank to another user. In this manner, a passenger cabin of an aircraft may provide individualized sensory experiences to different passengers sharing the aircraft cabin.

A vehicle includes: a camera configured to acquire position information of a passenger of the vehicle by capturing the passenger; an indicator configured to indicate whether the passenger is movable within the vehicle; and a processor. The processor may determine behavioral stability of the passenger based on the acquired position information of the passenger, determine whether the passenger is movable within the vehicle based on the determined behavioral stability and driving environment of the vehicle; and control an indication type of the indicator differently depend on whether the passenger is movable.

A vehicle interior lighting system includes an illuminating unit provided in an interior of a vehicle, an imaging unit that captures a depth image including a distance to an object person in the interior, an estimating unit that estimates a three-dimensional human body model of an object person from a depth image captured by the imaging unit, a predicting unit that predicts a movement intention of an object person in an interior based on the human body model estimated by the estimating unit, and an operation controller that controls lighting of the illuminating unit according to the movement intention predicted by the predicting unit.

An aircraft passenger reading light include comprises: a light source arrangement having a plurality of rows of reading light sources, with each of the rows having a plurality of reading light sources for passenger-specific illumination of a plurality of seats of a seating row of an aircraft and with the plurality of rows having different illumination directions in a longitudinal direction (L) of the aircraft, whereinach of the light sources first and second electrical terminals; first and second power supply connectors; and a multi-state switching arrangement having a plurality of switching states. The first power supply connector is coupled to the first electrical terminals of the plurality of reading light sources. The second power supply connector is coupled to the second electrical terminals of the plurality of reading light sources via the multi-state switching arrangement.

Ridehail seat reservation enforcement and user direction systems and methods are disclosed herein. An example method can include receiving a ridehail request that includes a seat selection of a first seat of a ridehail vehicle, the first seat being access through a first door of the ridehail vehicle, activating an external notification feature of the vehicle prior to a user entering the ridehail vehicle when the user attempts to enter the ridehail vehicle on a side of the vehicle associated with the first seat, and activating an internal notification feature of the ridehail vehicle when the user attempts to sit in a second seat that is not the first seat

An aircraft emergency lighting system is disclosed. This emergency lighting system may include interior emergency lighting, interior ambient light sensors, exterior emergency lighting, and exterior ambient light sensors. The interior emergency lighting, the exterior emergency lighting, or both, may be controlled based upon an input of the interior ambient light condition (e.g., using an output from at least one of the interior ambient light sensors) and based upon an input from at least one of the exterior ambient light sensors.
