A non-contact operating apparatus, for a vehicle, includes a generating unit, a projecting device, an operation detecting device, an operation determining unit, and a motion detecting device. The generating unit is configured to generate and update an image containing an image object. The image object is operable by an occupant present within a vehicle compartment. The projecting device is configured to project the image in a predetermined display region. The operation detecting device is configured to detect an operation site of the occupant. The motion detecting device is configured to detect motion of the vehicle. The operation determining unit is configured to adjust a detection result of the operation detecting device to suppress the motion of the occupant on the basis of a detection result of the motion detecting device, and determine presence or absence of the operation against the image object by the operation site.

Non-contact operating apparatus for vehicle and vehicle

A non-contact operating apparatus, for a vehicle, includes a generating unit, a projecting device, a detecting device, a stimulation output device, a determining unit, and a stimulation response output unit. The generating unit is configured to generate and update image containing an image object. The projecting device is configured to project the image in a predetermined display region. The detecting device is configured to detect an operation site of an occupant positioned in a vicinity of the predetermined display region. The stimulation output device is configured to output and update a tactile stimulation to the operation site. The determining unit is configured to determine whether the operation site performs a non-contact operation against the image object. The stimulation response output unit is configured to cause the stimulation output device to output the tactile stimulation to the operation site on the basis of a determination result.

A non-contact operating apparatus, for a vehicle, includes a generating unit, a projecting device, a detecting device, and a setting unit. The generating unit is configured to generate and update an image containing an image object. The image object is operable by an occupant present within a vehicle compartment of the vehicle. The projecting device is configured to project the image in a predetermined display region within the vehicle compartment of the vehicle. The detecting device is configured to detect a riding state of the occupant who is present in the vehicle compartment of the vehicle. The setting unit is configured to instruct the projecting device or the generating unit to project the image at a position at which the image object is operable by the occupant who is in the riding state detected by the detecting device.
