Sophisticated vehicle ergonomics are a relevant factor for the success of a new vehicle model. To support the evaluation of vehicle ergonomics a mobile AR (augmented reality) testing platform in cooperation with Volkswagen commercial vehicle was developed. The mobile AR-based testing platform consists of a Volkswagen Multivan, where roof, pillars, and dashboard have been removed. The missing parts are replaced by new virtual parts. A head mounted display presents the virtual parts to the user of the mobile AR testing platform, that way, enabling visibility analyses. The user can also interact with the virtual components of the vehicle to perform reachability analyses. To support these analyses the user's hands are recognized by the system. In this paper, a method for tracking the user's hands in a mobile AR testing platform is introduced. Using image processing the hands of the user are detected by checking for the skin color or the color of a glove the user wears. From image processing data the position of the user's real hand and potential collisions between the hand and virtual vehicle components are used. Results from collision detection are also utilized for the interaction with the virtual objects.
