A device for exchanging information between at least one operator and a machine, the device comprising the following components: a display means adapted to display information from the machine to the at least one operator visually and three-dimensionally; an input means adapted to detect the position of objects, preferably the position of the fingers of the at least one operator, in three-dimensional space in relation to the display means, in a time-resolved manner by optical, acoustic or electromagnetic measurement methods, and to detect at least one operator input from the detected progression over time in accordance with at least one predetermined criterion and to pass said operator input on to the machine, characterized in that the machine comprises at least one aircraft cabin system, which is controlled and monitored by way of the exchange of information between the at least one operator and the at least one aircraft cabin system; wherein the display means is adapted to produce an image having a basic layout in which individual system menus (S1-S8), which are each associated with the at least one aircraft cabin system, are represented directly by individual aircraft fuselages with display elements (U1-U5; Z1-Z5; 1L; 1R; 2L; 2R) contained therein, the system menus being in sequence in the manner of a string of pearls and being visible simultaneously, a respectively active system menu (S1-S8) being selectable in the foreground by rotating the carousel-type arrangement; wherein, in the event of at least one problem detected by the system or at least one malfunction, the display means is adapted to place a predefined system menu (S1-S8) in the foreground so as to be active and to provide at least one predefined animation of the predefined system menu (S1-S8) or the display elements (U1-U5; Z1-Z5; 1L; 1R; 2L; 2R); and when the predefined system menu has been selected by the at least one operator, the display means is adapted to immediately indicate a particular operating element by moving the operating element towards the operator so as to press the particular operating element. a display means adapted to display information from the machine to the at least one operator visually and three-dimensionally; an input means adapted to detect the position of objects, preferably the position of the fingers of the at least one operator, in three-dimensional space in relation to the display means, in a time-resolved manner by optical, acoustic or electromagnetic measurement methods, and to detect at least one operator input from the detected progression over time in accordance with at least one predetermined criterion and to pass said operator input on to the machine, characterized in that the machine comprises at least one aircraft cabin system, which is controlled and monitored by way of the exchange of information between the at least one operator and the at least one aircraft cabin system; wherein the display means is adapted to produce an image having a basic layout in which individual system menus (S1-S8), which are each associated with the at least one aircraft cabin system, are represented directly by individual aircraft fuselages with display elements (U1-U5; Z1-Z5; 1L; 1R; 2L; 2R) contained therein, the system menus being in sequence in the manner of a string of pearls and being visible simultaneously, a respectively active system menu (S1-S8) being selectable in the foreground by rotating the carousel-type arrangement; wherein, in the event of at least one problem detected by the system or at least one malfunction, the display means is adapted to place a predefined system menu (S1-S8) in the foreground so as to be active and to provide at least one predefined animation of the predefined system menu (S1-S8) or the display elements (U1-U5; Z1-Z5; 1L; 1R; 2L; 2R); and when the predefined system menu has been selected by the at least one operator, the display means is adapted to immediately indicate a particular operating element by moving the operating element towards the operator so as to press the particular operating element.
