A method for providing a user interface for at least one device of a transportation vehicle. A query gesture of a user is detected, and the query gesture is assigned a query direction. The query direction determines an approach value for the device.

An operating possibility display for the selected device is generated and output, and the operating possibility display includes information on the operating possibilities for the selected device. An operating gesture of the user is detected, and the detected operating gesture is used to generate a control signal for the selected device, and the control signal is transmitted to the device. Also disclosed is a system for providing a user interface for at least one device of a transportation vehicle.
