CSI and DSI. Not police procedural dramas. Camera and LCD display connectors.
Both unfortunately tied to the GPU and in the shady world of NDAs and closed proprietary intellectual property BS. So we will have to wait for the foundation and Broadcom to do something about making them useful. They are basically useless at the moment.

these are connectors for tiny flexible PCB cables, the left is for an LCD panel, and the right for a camera module. Both to be designed in the future by the Rpi foundation.
Currently they cannot be used.
