Using the MBUX Interior Assistant
The MBUX Interior Assistant detects the front vehicle occupants via 3D laser cameras in the overhead control panel. The Assistant interprets natural hand, head and body movements contextually or upon the explicit request of the driver or front passenger. The Assistant can thus automatically trigger vehicle interior functions and assist appropriately to the situation.
The Assistant recognises driver and front passenger interactions.
The Assistant supports vehicle and infotainment functions at three interaction levels:
INTELLIGENT
The Assistant recognises vehicle occupants and objects automatically and activates functions.
REACTIVE
The Assistant recognises the natural body language of a vehicle occupant and carries out functions automatically, appropriate to the situation.
CONTACTLESS
The vehicle occupant actively requests a function using a hand movement or pose.
The Assistant offers functions for the following:
SAFETY
The Assistant supports vehicle occupants with the use of restraint systems.
COMFORT
The Assistant enhances comfort by automating functions inside the vehicle and supporting natural interaction with the vehicle.
INFOTAINMENT
Operating options or information are highlighted and/or shown on the central display as your hand approaches. The vehicle occupants can carry out a favourite function with a hand pose.
One application example is switching the reading light on or off.
