Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus that gives a rendition effect using an artificial intelligence function while a user is viewing and listening to content. The information processing apparatus that controls an operation of an external device of a display with use of an artificial intelligence function includes an acquisition unit that acquires a video image or an audio output from the display, an estimation unit that estimates the operation of the external device synchronized with the video image or the audio with use of the artificial intelligence function, and an output unit that outputs an instruction of the estimated operation to the external device. The external device is a rendition device that outputs a rendition effect on the basis of the estimated operation.

Abstract: The present technique relates to a cooking arm, a measuring method, and an attachment for a cooking arm, which makes it possible to easily measure an aroma of an ingredient serving as a target of cooking. The cooking arm according to an aspect of the present technique causes a suction unit to suck an aroma of an ingredient serving as a target of a cooking operation performed by the cooking arm, and causes an aroma sensor to measure the aroma sucked by the suction unit in accordance with the cooking operation. The present technique can be applied to a system kitchen having a robot function.

Abstract: A system includes a first multilayer surface that includes a plurality of layers. The system further includes a plurality of sensors and circuitry. The circuitry receives a plurality of signals from the plurality of sensors and projection data associated with a media content projectable by a projection device. The projection data includes contrast control information associated with the media content. The circuitry determines ambient condition of an enclosed space based on the received plurality of signals. The circuitry selects one or more portions of the plurality of layers of the first multilayer surface based on the determined ambient condition or the projection data. The circuitry controls an opacity level of the selected one or more portions of the first multilayer surface to provide dynamic shade control in the enclosed space or improve contrast of the projected media content based on the determined ambient condition or the projection data.

Abstract: A system and method of vehicle control for user safety and experience is provided. The system receives sensed information associated with a first vehicle, detects a state of the first vehicle, and determines activities of a person or a second vehicle in proximity of the first vehicle. Such activities are determined based on the sensed information. The system triggers actions based on whether or not the determined activities are unsafe for the first vehicle or for users of the first vehicle in the detected state. The system controls devices associated with the first vehicle based on the triggered actions. The devices include a light-based projector device that is controlled to project a visual alert, included in the triggered actions, directly onto a physical surface. The physical surface is a window portion of the first vehicle or a physical structure which is external to and separate from the first vehicle.

Abstract: The present technology relates to a signal processing apparatus, a signal processing method, and a program each enabling reproduction of images and sounds in a synchronized manner. A signal processing apparatus includes a reproduction control unit configured to control, on the basis of image data of an image associated with a sound based on multichannel audio data, reproduction of the image, and a synchronization signal generation unit configured to generate a synchronization signal for reproducing the sound synchronized with the image on the basis of the multichannel audio data, on the basis of audio data for reproducing the sound, the audio data being smaller in number of channels than the multichannel audio data. The present technology is applicable to an omnidirectional contents reproduction system.
