MAX25405 Evaluation Kit

The sensor should be positioned to the right of the body,

not aimed directly at the torso. This allows gestures to be

made naturally with the hand positioned off to the side.

The sensor position with respect to the body should be

similar to how it would be configured in the car, with the

sensor mounted just above the infotainment display in the

center console, to the right of the driver (see Figure 5).

Gestures should be made in a single, smooth motion, with

the hand entering the field of view at the beginning of the

gesture and exiting the field of view at completion of the

gesture.

Figure 6 shows the correct way to perform left/right swipe

gestures. The palm should be perpendicular to the sensor.

Figure 7 shows the correct way to perform up/down swipe

gestures. The hand must enter and then exit the field of

view and then not re-enter the field of view, to indicate

completion of the gesture. The palm or the back of the

hand should be perpendicular to the sensor.

Figure 8 shows the correct way to perform rotations. The

rotation should be drawn with at least two fingers. The

circle of rotation should be about 10cm in diameter, with

the entire circle gesture performed within the field of view.
