Method and device for the control of functions in a vehicle using gestures performed in three-dimensional space, and related computer program product

摘要

A method to control functions in a vehicle using gestures carried out in three-dimensional space. When it is determined that a first gesture carried out in three-dimensional space is detected by an image-based detection procedure, it is determined whether the first gesture is a gesture directed towards a virtual object superimposing a real environment around the vehicle. If it is determined that the first gesture has been detected, it is determined whether a second gesture carried out in three-dimensional space is detected by the image-based detection procedure. If so, it is determined whether the detected second gesture is a gesture allocated to a manipulation of the virtual object, and the virtual object is manipulated accordingly.

1. A method to control functions in a vehicle using gestures carried out in three-dimensional space, the method comprising:
a) determining whether a first gesture carried out in three-dimensional space is detected by an image-based detection procedure; b) determining, if is determined that the first gesture has been detected, whether the first gesture is a gesture directed towards a virtual object superimposed onto a real environment around the vehicle; c) determining whether a second gesture carried out in three-dimensional space is detected by the image-based detection procedure; d) determining, if it is determined that the second gesture has been detected, whether the detected second gesture is a gesture allocated to a manipulation of the virtual object; and e) manipulating the virtual object if it has been determined that the detected first gesture is the gesture directed towards the virtual object and the detected second gesture is the gesture allocated to the manipulation of the virtual object.
