Abstract

An apparatus includes first and second accelerometers, a display device implemented in a vehicle, and a controller. The display device displays, to a user, a cursor relative to one or more objects. The first accelerometer generates a first signal representing an acceleration of the vehicle due to motion of the vehicle. The second accelerometer is worn by the user and generates a second signal representing both an acceleration of the user within the vehicle and the acceleration of the vehicle due to the motion of the vehicle. The controller isolates, based on the first signal, i) the acceleration of the user within the vehicle represented in the second signal from ii) the acceleration of the vehicle represented in the second signal. The controller moves the cursor relative to the objects based on the acceleration of the user within the vehicle as isolated from the acceleration of the vehicle.
