Method for operating an input device, input device, motor vehicle

The invention relates to a method for operating an input device (2), particularly an input device for a motor vehicle (1), comprising at least one sensor (3) for the touch-free detection of a positionand/or change of position of at least one finger of a user's hand (6), wherein, as a function of a detected position and/or change of position, an input is captured and said input is executed. It isprovided that the input is captured upon the detection of two fingertips (9, 10) which initially come into contact with each other and then move away from each other, their movement paths intersectingeach other. 本发明涉及种用于运行输入设备（2）、尤其是机动车（1）的输入设备的方法，所述输入设备具有至少个、用于无接触地检测使用者的手（6）的至少个手指的位置和/或位置变化的传感器（3），其中，根据被检测到的位置和/或位置变化识别出输入并且实施这个输入。设置的是，当检测到两个首先相互接触、然后彼此分开的指尖（9，10）时，识别出所述输入，其中，所述指尖的运动轨迹相互交叉。
