Operating Unit for a Steering Wheel of a Motor Vehicle and Method for Determining a Position of a Symbol Display

Methods, systems, and apparatuses are provided for determining a position of a symbol display in an at least partially transparent operating unit for a steering wheel of a motor vehicle. A position of a symbol display unit is determined. A target position is determined for a visualization of a symbol using the symbol display relative to the symbol display unit. An average eye point when using the steering wheel relative to the symbol display unit is determined. A distance and a viewing angle of the average eye point relative to the symbol display unit is determined. A position of the symbol display in the symbol display unit is determined such that the visualization of the symbol by means of the symbol display, when viewed from the determined distance and the determined viewing angle from the average eye point, takes place at the target position for the visualization of the symbol.
