1. A system for remote interaction with a pointing means of an aircraft cockpit display system equipped with HMIs, comprising three layers:
a lower layer configured so as to receive wired electric power supply and data exchange connections;
an upper layer comprising a hand-rest knob, at least one physical interaction means configured so as to interact on the pointing means for pointing at the HMIs of the cockpit, and a module with a touch-sensitive flat surface configured so as to interact on the pointing device for pointing at the HMIs of the cockpit and arranged in the extension of the hand-rest knob; and
an intermediate layer configured so as to make it possible to modify the position of the upper layer;
wherein the upper layer has a V-shaped structure and the hand-rest knob has an inverted-V-shaped structure, and
wherein the V has an angular aperture of between 65° and 250°.
