METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING USER INTERFACES
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
- receive information regarding a detected position of at least part of a user'"'"'s body;
determine whether the detected position comprises an activation position; and
provide for projection of a user interface onto a surface in response to the determination that the detected position comprises the activation position,wherein the activation position is a predefined position of the part of the user'"'"'s body in which effective projection of the user interface onto the surface and user interaction with the user interface is facilitated.

Abstract
An apparatus, method, and computer program product are provided for generating a projected user interface. The apparatus may include at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code may be configured, with the processor, to cause the apparatus to receive information regarding a detected position of the user'"'"'s body and to determine whether the detected position is an activation position, in which case the projection of a user interface may be provided. The user interface may be projected on an area on the user'"'"'s body, such as a hand or a forearm, or on the surface of an object. The activation position may thus be a predefined position of the user'"'"'s body in which effective projection of the user interface onto the surface and user interaction with the user interface is facilitated.
