Abstract:
A method of displaying information of interest to an occupant of a vehicle is provided. The method includes detecting movement of a hand of the occupant toward a physical control using a sensor and the sensor sending a signal from the sensor to a processor in the vehicle when the hand is detected. The method determines information of interest based on the signal using the processor and then displays the information of interest on a display device.
