Abstract:
Apparatus and method for operating vehicles and other technical equipment by way of a haptic operating device having a rotating unit. Selectable menu items are displayed on a display unit, and a menu item being selected by rotating the rotating unit. The rotating unit latches at a number of haptically perceptible latching points during rotation. The number and rotational position of the haptically perceptible latching points is dynamically changed.

Claim (Index 1):
A haptic operating device, comprising:\n a basic body and a rotating unit; a magnetorheological transmission apparatus with at least two components to be coupled to one another with a variable coupling intensity and disposed to form a channel therebetween; a magnetorheological medium to be influenced by a magnetic field, said magnetorheological medium having magnetically polarizable particles and being disposed in said channel between said at least two components for influencing the coupling intensity between said at least two components; a magnetic field generation device for generating the magnetic field in order to influence the magnetorheological medium, said basic body being coupled to one of said at least two components and said rotating unit being coupled to another of said at least two components; and at least one transfer element disposed in said channel for transferring a torque acting on one of said components to the other of said components.
