Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2700345A2] The vacuum cleaner (1) has control- and display elements for controlling the cleaner and displaying information. A projection unit (2) projects the control- and display elements on a projection surface (4). A light source (5) i.e. infra-red light source, radiates light beams in a non-viewable region i.e. infrared region, and a camera receives the reflected beams of the light source to detect an operation of the control elements on the projection surface. The projection unit comprises a laser and/or multiple LEDs. The projection surface is located on a floor area.
