Current smart translucent sun visors are constrained by the transparent surface for any addition of touch interaction. Apple Vision Pro like Gesture Control from Neural Lab can be leveraged to empower drivers to adjust the tint level and interact with driver assistant applications without smudging the translucent surface.
Neural Lab AirTouch only requires an off-the-shelf RGB camera to add gesture interaction to any application. By embedding a tiny camera in the translucent visor, the driver can interact with navigation, infotainment, and other applications using the translucent visor as a display.
The approach involves placing a front-facing camera either in the middle top or middle bottom of the Sun Visor. This camera position captures the driver’s hand as they gesture mid-air. Examples of gesture captures can include the driver sliding the index finger mid-air to adjust the tint or tapping the index finger and thumb for selection. The advantage of this approach is that a broader spectrum of gestures can be expressed. However, it’s crucial to acknowledge that this option introduces a potential risk of driver distraction.
This involves placing a downward-facing camera in the middle bottom of the Sun Visor. This 
camera position captures the driver’s hand as their hands are placed on the steering wheel. This position allows the camera to capture gestures while driving without drivers taking their eyes off the road. With a flick of 1 or more fingers, the driver can adjust the tint and make a selection without taking their hands off the steering wheel or even eye off the road. The advantage of this approach is the minimized risk of driver distraction, however, the range of gestures that can be expressed is reduced. With the right User Interface design, this could be the optimal approach.
