A resin component includes a natural wooden veneer, a light-transmitting ink printed layer, an adhesive layer, and a light-transmitting reinforcement layer. The veneer includes a sparseness portion and a denseness portion of conduits, is 50% or more and 80% or less in light transmittance, and is 0.1 mm or more and 0.6 mm or less in plate thickness. The light-transmitting ink printed layer is formed on a first surface of the veneer, is 2 m or more and 20 m or less in thickness, and contains a pigment or a dye. The adhesive layer is formed on a second surface which is an opposite side of the first surface of the veneer. The reinforcement layer is formed on a surface, which is an opposite side of the veneer, of the adhesive layer.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for detecting a user gesture or eye tracking for selecting of an object, and responding to the selection, are disclosed. A gesture or eye tracker may be placed near a user, along with a camera positioned to share at least a portion of a field of view with the user. The user may look or gesture to an object within the portion of the field of view, indicating its selection. The object may be recognized, and the user presented with one or more actions to take in response to the selected object.

Disclosed is display apparatus for a vehicle including a display unit, a gesture sensing unit located around the display unit for sensing a 3D gesture made by an object, and a processor for generating a control signal based on the 3D gesture. The gesture sensing unit includes a first light-emitting unit for emitting a first group of rays along a first optical path, a second light-emitting unit for emitting a second group of rays along a second optical path, and a light-receiving unit for receiving a first group of reflected rays formed when the first group of rays is reflected by the object and a second group of reflected rays formed when the second group of rays is reflected by the object.

A human machine interface (HMI) minimizing the number of gestures for operation control in which user-intended operation commands are accurately recognized by dividing a vehicle interior into a plurality of regions. The HMI receives an input of a gesture according to each region, and controls any one device according to the gesture. Convenience of a user is improved because the gesture may be performed in a state in which region restriction is minimized by identifying an operation state and an operation pattern of an electronic device designated according to each region to recognize the user's intention when the user performs the gesture in a boundary portion between two regions or even in multiple regions.

A method to operate a gesture recognition system for a motor vehicle is disclosed. The method includes: detection of a movement gesture by a detection unit; generation of a movement vector, which represents the moment gesture, by the detection unit; transmission of the movement vector to a processing unit; comparison of the movement vector with at least two limit curves, which define at least three separate regions in a section of the vector space; and determination of a direction of the movement gesture as horizontal if the movement vector lies in a first region, as vertical if the movement vector lies in a second region, and as not able to be classified if the movement vector lies in a third region. The limit curves are defined by functions which depend on spatial directions in a non-linear manner in order to increase recognition and classification reliability of the gesture recognition system.

Methods and systems for a complete vehicle ecosystem are provided. Specifically, systems that when taken alone, or together, provide an individual or group of individuals with an intuitive and comfortable vehicular environment. The present disclosure includes a universal chassis that may be mounted in the head unit of a vehicle. The chassis may accept one or more modules that each have common dimensions. With a common form factor, the universal chassis is configurable as different modules with different functionality may be inserted into the chassis with ease.

An in-vehicle device comprises a gesture defection unit, which recognizes a user's hand position located within a predetermined range, a driving state recognition unit which detects a driving state of a vehicle, and a gesture control unit which controls a state of a gesture operation based on a recognition result of the hand position by the gesture detection unit, wherein the gesture control unit disables the gesture operation when the driving state of the vehicle detected by the driving state recognition unit is in a predetermined disabling state.

An input device includes: a movement detector that detects a user movement; and an image projector that forms a zone image in a space to present a region where the movement detector detects movement; and the image projector includes a first light source; and a first light guide plate which includes a light emitting surface and directs light entering from the first light source so that the light exits from the light emitting surface and forms an image in a space.

Provided is a control system using an in-vehicle gesture input, and more particularly, a system for receiving a vehicle occupant's gesture and controlling the execution of vehicle functions. The control system using an in-vehicle gesture input includes an input unit configured to receive a user's gesture, a memory configured to store a control program using an in-vehicle gesture input therein, and a processor configured to execute the control program. The processor performs an information display control for areas layered in a windshield screen according to the user's gesture.

An infotainment system for a vehicle is provided. The system includes a plurality of touch sensitive displays, a speaker system, at least one physical input control, a plurality of microphones, a gesture input system, a head and eye tracking system and a computing system. The various input systems are used to interact with the infotainment system. The system provides feedback to vehicle occupants using the displays and audio information.
