Abstract
A method inputs a control command for a component of a motor vehicle. The method involves generating an image sequence of an input object guided by a user in a specified detection region using an imaging device, detecting a change in position of the input object on the basis of the image sequence, and generating a control command for the component of the motor vehicle on the basis of the detected change in position. The imaging device employs at least one infrared-sensitive camera, and the detection region is illuminated using at least one infrared source.
