Personalization system and method for a vehicle based on spatial locations of occupants' body portions

A system comprising one or more processors and non-transitory computer storage media storing instructions that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• capture, by an image-capture device in a vehicle, a plurality of images of an occupant in the vehicle;
• identify a user profile associated with the occupant based on one or more of the plurality of images, and wherein the user profile defines user-preferences for the occupant comprising settings for a plurality of in-vehicle systems;
• associate a first of the in-vehicle systems with a first body portion of the occupant and a second of the in-vehicle systems with a second body portion of the occupant in accordance with the settings, wherein the first of the in-vehicle systems is a Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system;
• track, based on the plurality of images, a Z-height of the first body portion and a Z-height of the second body portion;
• control the first of the in-vehicle systems to direct output to the first body portion of the occupant based on the tracked Z-height of the first body portion and the user-preferences and the second of the in-vehicle systems to direct output to the second body portion of the occupant based on the tracked Z-height of the second body portion and the user-preferences;
• and
• present a user interface via a display of the vehicle, wherein the user interface includes information from one or more of the user-preferences defined in the user profile.
