Abstract: A display system changes display in accordance with a gesture of an operator in a vehicle. The display system includes a gesture detector that detects the gesture, a vision area detector that detects a vision area of the operator, a display that displays a gesture operation result that is an operation result of the gesture, and a display controller that executes a control related to display processing of the display. The display controller acquires the vision area detected by the vision area detector and a display area of the display, determines a positional relationship between the vision area and the display area, and displays the gesture operation result to the operator. The display controller determines a display mode of the gesture operation result based on the positional relationship between the vision area and the display area.

Abstract: In a technique for vehicle control, a gesture due to a motion of a body part of an occupant of a vehicle is detected. The gesture is associated with an operation of an in-vehicle device provided in the vehicle. The in-vehicle device executes the operation associated with the gesture. The in-vehicle device executes position-specific operations that are different for respective positions in a vehicle cabin of the vehicle. The gesture requires a line motion of the body part. Different operations of the position-specific operations are associated with gestures detected as a common gesture according to a direction of trajectory deviation. The trajectory deviation is deviation of a trajectory of a line motion of the body part detected as the common gesture from a trajectory of the line motion required by the common gesture.
