BMW iDrive with touch screen and gesture control
The expanded iDrive concept opens up completely new possibilities, offering an extremely intuitive control of many functions and without distracting the driver from the road. Now, in addition to basic information input via the iDrive controller, the driver and the front passenger are offered to operate the system via touchscreen, as in a smartphone - many customers perceive it as intuitive and logical. Both concepts are absolutely equal and interchangeable - all menu options without exception can be used both by touch input and through the iDrive controller. Even more interesting is the option that allows you to control individual functions with gestures and movements in the open space. Built-in roof 3D sensor captures certain gestures, including recognizes rotational and sliding movements. For example, you can change the volume level by rotating the finger; take a call by simulating a button press in the air, or reject it by sliding motion.
