Abstract
Image contents are displayed with a spatial impression of depth for interaction with image contents displayed on a display device in a transportation vehicle, the image contents having control elements in more than one depth plane. An operating action by a user is detected by at least one sensor provided in the transportation vehicle, and it is determined in which depth plane an operating element should be operated. An interaction with a displayed operating element takes place in the determined depth plane according to the detected operating action. A touch screen is provided for the operating action of the user wherein the level of pressure exerted by the user is detected and the user interacts with operating elements in different depth planes based on the detected pressure level. Alternatively, a gesture sensor is provided for the operating action by the user.
