Method for Controlling a Vehicle System

A method for controlling a vehicle system by a user, the method comprising the acts of:

• receiving a sequence of sensor data from a sensor system;
• generating a sequence of positions based on a position of a body part being determined from each element in the sequence of sensor data;
• selecting a first position, a second position temporally following the first position, and a third position temporally following the second position from the sequence of positions;
• determining a first circumferential angle, wherein the first circumferential angle is defined by the first position, the second position, and the third position;
• identifying that a first circular direction is in a clockwise direction if the first circumferential angle is between a first lower threshold value and a first upper threshold value;
• identifying that the first circular direction is in an anticlockwise direction if the first circumferential angle is between a second lower threshold value and a second upper threshold value;
• and
• controlling the vehicle system based on the identified first circular direction.
