The projector is provided in a spatial proximity to the operating element for displaying a selection menu (34) depending on a position of the operation part. A group of electromagnetic sensors and a camera (30) are functioned as the sensor, where the electromagnetic sensors are oriented in different radial directions. A selection of a camera image is detectable within the selection menu by an image processing of the camera. An independent claim is also included for an operation unit for a domestic appliance.
