1. An apparatus for recognizing a proximity motion using sensors, the apparatus comprising:

  • sensors, operatively connected and comprising;

    a first sensor configured to sense an off-surface first input region at a distance closer than a predetermined distance off of a reference surface for recognizing a proximate motion of a first input object within the off-surface first input region, anda second sensor simultaneously operable with the first sensor and configured to sense a second input region at a distance farther than the predetermined distance from the reference surface, wherein the second sensor senses a rate of change of light of each pixel over time; and

    an information transfer controller to transfer information between the first sensor and the second sensor, the information related to a transition of the first input object in response to the transition occurring between the first input region and the second input region.
