GESTURE-BASED USER INTERFACE

Abstract:

A computer is programmed to receive data from an occupant wearable device and detect a movement of the wearable device relative to the vehicle steering wheel based on a movement classifier. The movement classifier is created based on ground truth data indicating the movement of the wearable device while an occupant's hand contacts the vehicle steering wheel. The computer is further programmed to then cause an action in the vehicle according to the detected movement.
