Abstract
A method synchronizes two display devices in a motor vehicle. The first display device already displays a first data set which comprises a first display content relating to a predetermined thematic context. A sensor device, in particular a PMD camera, detects as a control gesture of a user, a free movement in the chamber of a body part of the user. A signal which is then generated by the sensor device and which describes the control gesture, is transmitted to a gesture recognition device which generates a control signal in accordance with the determined control gesture. In accordance with the control signal, a control device determines the predetermined thematic context of the determined data set. Using the defined predetermined thematic context, an additional data set which includes a second display content of the predetermined thematic context is provided. This additional data set is displayed on the second display device.
