Abstract
A system (111) and method (200) for providing sensory feedback (210) for touchless feedback control is provided. The system can include a touchless sensing unit (110) that detects at least one position (304) of an object in a touchless sensing space (300), and an indicator (166) communicatively coupled to the touchless sensing unit that provides sensory feedback associated with the at least one position. The indicator can change in accordance with a location, a recognized movement, or a strength of the touchless sensing space. The sensory feedback can be associated with acquiring a touchless control or releasing a touchless control. The sensory feedback can be visual, auditory, or haptic.
