Devices, Systems, and Methods for Contactless Interfacing

Abstract:

Devices, systems, and methods for contactless user interfacing can include applying a user interface display configured for presenting at least visual information to the user, a sensor system for capturing contactless user inputs, the sensor system being configured to detect penetration of an activation zone by the user's hands as an indication that the user intends to provide contactless user input to the user interface display, the sensor system being configured for direct tracking of a user's hand to directly sense the position of the user's hands in at least a portion of an area outside from the activation zone, and a control system arranged in communication with the sensor system to receive the user input signal and configured to determine a target interface element engaged by the user for contactless activation of the visual information, based on indication of direct tracking of the user's hands and indication of penetration of the activation zone of the user input signal.
