A USER INTERFACE FOR A VEHICLE, A VEHICLE, AND A METHOD FOR OPERATING A USER INTERFACE FOR A VEHICLE

The invention relates to a user interface (1) for a vehicle (2) adapted to present visible information (3a, 3b, 3b', 3b") and to capture user input (5); the user interface (1) comprises a two-dimensional touch sensitive display (7) for displaying information (3a) on a display portion (8) and for capturing touch user input (5a), and an optical faceplate (9) comprising a contact surface (10), a three-dimensional display surface (11) for displaying information (3b, 3b', 3b"), and an optic light guide material (12) provided between the contact surface (10) and the three-dimensional display surface (11); wherein the faceplate (9) is integrated into the display (7) so that an areal extension of the three-dimensional display surface (11) and/or an areal extension of the contact surface (10) is smaller than an areal extension of the display (7), and so that the contact surface (10) is arranged to receive light emitted from the display (7); wherein the user interface (1) is adapted to capture user interaction (5b) relative to the faceplate (9). The invention also relates to a vehicle (2) and a method of operating a user interface (1) for a vehicle (2).
