Abstract
An apparatus panel for placement at least partially in front of a screen or display or over a printed surface, has at least two stacked, transparent panel plates, a mechanical user interface in the form of at least one mechanically actuated regulating arrangement and a corresponding contact arrangement. In order to reduce the risk of leakage into the panel, the panel is devised so that regulating arrangement and the contact arrangement are physically separated by at least one of the panel plates and can sense each other's relative positions and, accordingly, the mechanical user interface's setting, without touching.
