Abstract: A data streaming environment provides a summary of streaming data. An input interface receives streaming data from a sensor or an input device. The input device includes a user interface. The sensor is an Internet of Things (IOT) device. A processor is communicatively coupled to the input interface for processing the streaming data. A histogram update application is executed with the received data to provide a limited-size summary of the streaming data by fading outdated data by storing distance data and bin data. The processed data includes a plurality of records and variables that describe a characteristic of a physical object. An output interface is communicatively coupled to the processor to provide the processed data to be visually presented in one or more data graphs on a display device.
