A virtual human-machine interface system for a vehicle including at least one projection surface disposed within the vehicle and a corresponding virtual human-machine interface method for a vehicle are provided. The virtual human-machine interface system comprises at least one micro-mirror projection device for projecting an image on the at least one projection surface, at least one sensor for detecting commands given by a user by determining the position of a part of the user's body within the vehicle, and a control unit for controlling the human-machine interface system.

An optical touch-sensitive device is able to determine the locations of multiple simultaneous touch events on a surface. The optical touch-sensitive device includes multiple emitters and detectors. Each emitter produces optical beams which are received by the detectors. Touch events on the surface disturb the optical beams received by the detectors. Based on the disturbed beams, a map of the touch activity on the surface is generated. Touch characteristics and touch types for each touch event are determined from the map. By applying the touch characteristics and touch types to contextual information, a machine learned model, or a set of predefined rules, touches can be classified as wanted or unwanted touch events. Unwanted touch events may be ignored to improve user experience.
