Continental unveils a project that adds the detection zone of gestures on the steering wheel. This is possible due to a TOF sensor, which is integrated into the instrument cluster. Using this approach, the solution minimizes driver distraction and further enhances the development of the holistic human-machine interface.
 |
| By swiping up and down, the driver scrolls through the board computer menu |
 |
To select submenus of an app or to find the favorite song, the driver swipes
horizontally on the gesture panel. |
 |
| By thumb double typing on the gesture panel, the music starts playing. |
 |
With a little wave of the hand the driver can accept an incoming call.
A wave with the other hand rejects it. |
A simple touch sensor works better!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy would anyone want this? This is potentially hazardous.
ReplyDeleteNice clean steering wheel - interaction concept looks to me much less hazardous than fiddling around with some tiny buttons in the middle console - and allows much more than buttons on the wheel ... wonder if they could make the complete wheel transparent
ReplyDeleteInteresting that live news is shown in the driver's view (on RHS) and 45mph on the speedo.
ReplyDeleteNow, I'm sure Continental wouldn't want any of its customers to get killed through distracted driving...
