Convenience in operating lighting systems is driving the demand for automotive gesture recognition market

Lighting systems will witness around 17% growth from 2020 to 2026. Gesture control for lighting systems enhances safety as it keeps drivers’ eyes on the road. It provides benefits like greater durability and reliability, as mechanical switches are all but replaced, and lower power operation.
 

In these types of systems, capacitive switching technology is used in order to detect the gestures as it enters a pre-set field (between 0 and 80 nm). Conductivity of iron in the blood triggers the switch and due to capacitive proximity sensors; gestures are detected even with gloved hands. Automobile manufacturers are enhancing lighting system control by programming the sensors to recognize a sliding or tapping action to dim or change the color of the lights.
