The functionality of technical devices like mobile phones becomes more and more complex. For fast and correct activation of these functions the operational concept must be beyond pressing buttons because even menus become too complex. One solution is speech recognition. Especially the usability of phones is simplified by speech recognition but a low user acceptance can be observed. Therefore, other methods to enhance the usability of human machine interfaces are investigated. One of these new methods is gesture recognition, a technique of registering movements of the hand or signs shown by the hand, e.g. starting playback of a CD. This paper introduces gesture recognition in vehicles to control comfort and infotainment functions. Basic gesture recognition techniques and adequate sensors are explained. These are static gesture recognition, hand tracking and dynamic gesture recognition. The basic assets and drawbacks of these methods are detailed. To consider automotive applications, the paper analyses the feasibility of several functions inside the vehicle, e.g. using the navigation and controlling the air conditioner.
