Abstract:
A menu including at least one menu entry and/or a menu entry from the menu, is selected by using a menu navigation device. The device can control the vehicle by at least one head movement of a driver and includes a camera which is designed to be worn on the head of the driver to capture camera data corresponding to a field of vision of the driver, a processor unit which is configured to generate a compilation of menu entries as a function of at least one predetermined viewing direction which corresponds to the direction of a field of vision of the driver and/or a position of the driver's head, and a display for outputting the menu entries.
