Abstract
A computer device with a sensor subsystem for detecting off-surface objects, that carries out continued processing of the position and shape of objects detected in the vicinity of the device, associates these positions and shapes with predetermined gesture states, determines if the object is transitioning between gesture states and provides feedback based on the determined transition between the gesture states.
