    Abstract: A human-machine interface device includes a touch panel having a front surface intended to be visible to a user and a rear surface, the touch panel being configured to detect an interaction of the user with the touch panel and being resiliently deformable, and a plurality of actuators arranged behind the touch panel, each actuator being controllable between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration wherein the actuator deforms an area of the touch panel located opposite the actuator by forming a bump protruding from the front surface of the touch panel. The human-machine interface device has at least one configuration wherein several actuators in the extended position together define a single control element protruding from the front surface of the touch panel.
