Gesture Control Coming to a Honda Near You!

Honda Gathers Advance 4 is a technology that will combine voice command (voice recognition) and gesture control (command based on the movement) to operate the car navigation system and entertainment media in the car (multimedia system). At least with these two things above, you do not need to turn your eyes from the road.

As seen in the figure, motion sensors placed in the center of the steering wheel so that when you want to access a menu, simply move the hand on the steering wheel and it can be done without seeing.
The Honda Gathers system is a proprietary Honda audio, multimedia and navigation system already on the market in Japan. The idea of using both voice and gesture recognition to control an entertainment and navigation system makes more sense than any touch-based system, so we’re quite keen to see whetre things lead with this.
