Volkswagen's Eye-Tracking Control System Could Revolutionize In-Car Interaction
Volkswagen has revealed a novel control system that could revolutionise in-car interaction. The system, previewed by ID.Every1 Concept, allows drivers to activate basic features like headlights or windshield wipers with just a glance and a steering-wheel toggle.
The innovative system combines an eye-tracker and a universal steering-wheel toggle. Drivers simply look at the desired function, and then activate it using the toggle. This intuitive method could potentially be combined with voice control for even greater convenience.
Volkswagen believes this system could significantly reduce driver distraction. By simplifying control elements and menu structures, drivers can keep their eyes on the road and hands on the wheel. The German automaker is committed to bringing back physical buttons for important controls in its next-generation models, aiming to enhance safety and usability.
A German patent hints at the future of interior vehicle control systems. Volkswagen's novel eye-tracking and steering-wheel toggle system could set a new standard for driver interaction, prioritising safety and simplicity. The ID.Every1 Concept preview showcases the potential of this technology in upcoming Volkswagen models.
