Abstract: Described herein are gaming systems and methods for providing all-in card games. A data processing system can receive a wager and generate a graphical user interface having a player hand and a graphical element indicating a set of player and opponent gaming resources, with the set of opponent gaming resources outnumbering the player gaming resources. The graphical user interface includes a set of interactive graphical elements that update the game state. The set of interactive graphical elements consists only of a first element that stakes all the player gaming resources and a second element that indicates a fold. The data processing system can determine an updated game state responsive to an interaction with the first or second interactive element. The data processing system can initiate a subsequent play responsive to determining that the set of player and opponent gaming resources is greater than zero.

Abstract: A vehicle includes an output device configured to communicate to a driver of the vehicle and an in-vehicle control system. The in-vehicle control system is configured to evaluate one or more trigger inputs including at least one of a current dynamic state of the vehicle or an attribute of an environment of the vehicle. The in-vehicle control system processes the one or more trigger inputs according to a dynamic model having a state with a time-dependent response to changes in the one or more trigger inputs. The state of the dynamic model is evaluated with respect to a threshold condition. In response to the dynamic model satisfying the threshold condition, guidance is provided to the driver through the output device.

Abstract: Embodiments herein provide mechanisms for viewport dependent adaptive streaming of point cloud content. For example, a user equipment (UE) may receive a media presentation description (MPD) for point cloud content in a dynamic adaptive streaming over hypertext transfer protocol (DASH) format. The MPD may include viewport information for a plurality of recommended viewports and indicate individual adaptation sets of the point cloud content that are associated with the respective recommended viewports. The UE may select a first viewport from the plurality of recommended viewports (e.g., based on viewport data that indicates a current viewport of the user and/or a user-selected viewport). The UE may request one or more representations of a first adaptation set, of the adaptation sets, that corresponds to the first viewport. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
