Abstract: A vehicle cabin control device includes: a plurality of seating surface changing devices; a determination unit; and an output unit. The seating surface changing devices is configured to change orientations of seating surfaces of a plurality of vehicle seats. When the determination unit determines that the sharing state is desirable, the output unit operates the seating surface changing devices so as to change orientations of bodies of the occupants to such orientations that the occupants easily communicate with each other. When the determination unit determines that the sharing state is not desirable, the output unit operates the seating surface changing device so as to change an orientation of the body of the occupant to such an orientation that the occupant does not easily communicates with the other occupants.

Abstract: A vehicle cabin lighting system includes: a lighting device that is provided inside a vehicle cabin and that is configured to move a position of light; and a control section that is configured to determine whether or not an occupant sitting on a vehicle seat has an interest in interacting with another occupant inside the vehicle cabin based on operation of an operation section by the occupant or based on a state of the occupant sitting on the vehicle seat, and to control the lighting device so as to move the position of the light in order to direct a gaze direction of the occupant toward a vehicle width direction outer side in a case in which no interest in interacting has been determined.
