A Survey on Gestural Interaction in the Car

Gestural interaction has entered the automotive domain, allowing the driver to control secondary and tertiary functions of the vehicle. The design space ranges from mid-air gestures to surface-based gestures requiring little or no visual attention of the user. In this paper, we present an up-to-date survey on current gestural interaction methods in the vehicle. We here focus on the driver as the user. We discuss applications, advantages and disadvantages of representative approaches.
