The systems and methods disclosed herein provide determination of an orientation of a feature towards a reference target. As a non-limiting example, a system consistent with the present disclosure may include a processor, a memory, and a single camera affixed to the ceiling of a room occupied by a person. The system may analyze images from the camera to identify any objects in the room and their locations. Once the system has identified an object and its location, the system may prompt the person to look directly at the object. The camera may then record an image of the user looking at the object. The processor may analyze the image to determine the location of the user's head and, combined with the known location of the object and the known location of the camera, determine the direction that the user is facing. This direction may be treated as a reference value, or “ground truth.” The captured image may be associated with the direction, and the combination may be used as training input into an application.

Methods and apparatus to transition between 2D and 3D renderings of augmented reality content are disclosed. An example apparatus includes instructions to cause programmable circuitry to: cause projection of an AR object onto at least one of a first surface in a real-world environment or a second surface in the real-world environment; cause the AR object to appear to move with variable depth relative to the first surface; cause the AR object to appear to move at a fixed depth relative to the second surface; cause the AR object to appear to transition from the first surface to the second surface when an apparent depth of the AR object relative to the first surface is within a threshold of the fixed depth; and prevent the AR object from appearing to transition to the second surface when the apparent depth is not within the threshold of the fixed depth.

Methods and apparatus to operate closed-lid portable computers are disclosed. An example portable compute device includes: a microphone; a speaker; a first camera to face a first direction; and a second camera to face a second direction, the second direction opposite the first direction. The compute device further includes communications circuitry; a first display; a second display separate from the first display; and a hinge to enable the first display to rotate relative to the second display between an open position and a closed position. At least a portion of the second display is capable of being visible when the first display is rotated about the hinge to the closed position. The portion of the second display is multiple times longer in a third direction than in a fourth direction perpendicular to the third direction, the third direction extending parallel to an axis of rotation of the hinge.

Techniques are disclosed relating to determining a predicted time interval for querying a database beginning at a starting point in time to retrieve a specified number of records. A computer system receives a request for records from a database that stores timestamped records, where the request is for a specified number of records beginning at a starting point in time. The computer system then determines a predicted time interval for querying the database beginning at the starting point in time to retrieve the specified number of records, where the predicted time interval may be determined by a machine learning module that is trained using historical database transaction data. Such techniques may advantageously improve the efficiency of individual queries in fetching a desired amount of data from a database for applications.

In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises a memory and a processor. The memory is to store sensor data, wherein the sensor data is captured by a plurality of sensors within an educational environment. The processor is to: access the sensor data captured by the plurality of sensors; identify a student within the educational environment based on the sensor data; detect a plurality of events associated with the student based on the sensor data, wherein each event is indicative of an attention level of the student within the educational environment; generate a report based on the plurality of events associated with the student; and send the report to a third party associated with the student.

Methods and apparatus to transition between 2D and 3D renderings of augmented reality content are disclosed. An example apparatus includes at least one processor to execute instructions to: determine a first intended movement of an augmented reality (AR) object projected onto a first surface in a real world environment; cause the AR object to be rendered to appear to move along the first surface at a fixed depth defined by the first surface; determine a second intended movement of the AR object projected onto a second surface in the real world environment; and cause the AR object to be rendered to appear to move with variable depth within a 3D virtual space, the 3D virtual space defined by the second surface and a virtual rear boundary, the virtual rear boundary to virtually extend behind the second surface from a perspective of a user.
