First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- determining, by a processing device, a surface-constrained input standard for a surface-constrained input generated approximate to a physical surface;
determining, by the processing device, is a virtual boundary within an augmented reality construct;
defining, by the processing device, a first portion of the virtual boundary to receive a first input;
defining, by the processing device, a second portion of the virtual boundary to receive a second input;
defining, by the processing device, a third portion of the virtual boundary to receive a third input;
sensing, by a sensor, a first input within the first portion of the virtual boundary;
sensing, by the sensor, a second input within the second portion of the virtual boundary;
sensing, by the sensor, a third input within the third portion of the virtual boundary;
generating, by the processing device, a device input that corresponds to the first input, the second input, and the third input; and
sending the device input to a device.

Abstract
A method, system, apparatus, and/or device for sensing an input in an augmented reality construct. The method, system, apparatus, and/or device may include a processing device and a sensor. The processing device may be configured to determine a virtual boundary within an augmented reality construct, define a first portion of the virtual boundary within the augmented reality construct, and define a second portion of the virtual boundary within the augmented reality construct. The sensor may be sense a first input from an end-effector within the first portion of the virtual boundary and sense a second input from the end-effector within the second portion of the virtual boundary, where the processing device may further generate a device input that corresponds to the first input and the second input and send the device input to another device.
