Gesture control and capacitive touchscreens

Gesture control and capacitive touchscreens

In their search for ever simpler forms of intuitive operating controls, car manufacturers are focusing more and more on alternative methods of entering commands: Instead of haptically actuated switches and control knobs, modern vehicles are increasingly equipped with on-board touchscreens and voice control systems. The latest trend is gesture control systems. These are systems that respond to finger pointing - without being touched. This is how you can, for example, use a hand gesture in the air to turn on the radio or control the sliding roof.
