Abstract: Detecting spatial positioning between a user's hands and an object, using a wearable device, to provide feedback to a user. Motion data of a person's body motion while performing an action can be received at a computer. The motion data can include sensor data from sensors at a location where the sensors detect the person's body motion. The sensors can include a wearable device on the person's body. The computer can be used to model the person's body motion using the motion data. A set of parameters for acceptable motions is determined based on an action risk assessment of the action. Feedback can be initiated to the person, using the wearable device, based on the person's body motion exceeding a body motion threshold based on the set of parameters for the acceptable motions and the model.

Abstract: An application (App)-BOT, scans a context of a user of an application and obtains current scanned user data. The App BOT determines a set of user information entities from the scanned user data containing current information about the user. In a negotiation phase, the App BOT a data access request offer from a mixed reality data (MRD)-BOT. A privacy leak score is estimated that represents a user value attributed to the permission to access the labelled user information entity based on the data access request offer. Responsive to determining that the privacy leak score exceeds a privacy leak score threshold, an acceptance of the data access request offer is sent to the MRD BOT and providing access requested by the data access request. Otherwise, a counteroffer is sent to the offer to the MRD BOT.
