Nodding, winking to control the car

American engineers have introduced a completely new car navigation system, based only on facial expressions and facial expressions, such as blinking or nodding.

Harman's car entertainment technology system incorporates a sensor attached to the panel to detect the driver's face and then control the car's performance.

An in-car computer is responsible for explaining these movements and then transmitting control signals to radios, navigation systems, air conditioning and car phones.

For example, the driver may blink to turn on or off the radio and the music player.

This technology can distinguish random gestures and rider-intentional motions based on the prolonged duration of gesture before it turns on or off the radio.

The driver can also nod to the left to increase the volume and nod to the right to decrease the volume, or tap on the steering wheel to skip a song.

In order to make a phone call, the rider only needs to make the call symbol by hand and dial the number by calling the name of the person they want to contact.

The driver controls the air conditioning system by moving the right hand up or down the gearbox. Nearby there is a touch-sensitive device attached to the computer for gesture recognition.

This technology allows the driver to control the functions in the car without losing focus while driving.
