The present invention relates to a human machine interface arrangement. The arrangement comprises a display module (170) having a display means (13) for displaying selectable data, and a control and selection module (160) for selecting between the displayed selectable data by means of a body part (11). The arrangement further comprises a body part detection module (100) for capturing the position of the body part (11) with respect to the control and selection module (160). The body part detection module (100) is further arranged to communicate directly or indirectly with the display module (170) to provide for an image representative of the body part (11) on the display means (13) to thereby enable a remote touch screen on the display means (13). The present invention provides for an arrangement which readily can separate the display means from the control and selection device while maintaining the advantages of a regular control and selection module.
