Abstract
A vehicular display input apparatus includes a gesture detection unit, a determiner, and a controller. The gesture detection unit detects a gesture made by a hand of the driver. The determiner determines whether a visual line of the driver is directed within a visual line detection area, which is preliminarily defined to include at least partial display region. The controller switches to one of operations listed in an operation menu, which is to be correlated with the gesture, according to a determination result of the determiner. The determination result indicates whether the visual line is directed within the visual line detection area.
