1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a computer, a sequence of signals indicating a motion of a hand of a user within a predefined area;
segmenting the area into multiple regions;
identifying, responsively to the signals, a region in which the hand is located;
assigning a mapping ratio to the motion of the hand based on a direction of the motion and the region in which the hand is located; and
presenting, using the assigned mapping ratio, a cursor on a display responsively to the indicated motion of the hand.

Abstract
A method, including receiving, by a computer, a sequence of signals indicating a motion of a hand of a user within a predefined area, and segmenting the area into multiple regions. Responsively to the signals, a region is identified in which the hand is located, and a mapping ration is assigned to the motion of the hand based on a direction of the motion and the region in which the hand is located. Using the assigned mapping ratio, a cursor on a display is presented responsively to the indicated motion of the hand.

10. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a sensing device; and a computer executing a mixed modality user interface, and configured to receive, from the sensing device, a sequence of signals indicating a motion of a hand of a user within a predefined area, to segment the area into multiple regions, to identify, responsively to the signals, a region in which the hand is located, to assign a mapping ratio to the motion of the hand based on a direction of the motion and the region in which the hand is located, and to present, using the assigned mapping ratio, a cursor on a display responsively to the indicated motion of the hand. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A computer software product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium, in which program instructions are stored, which instructions, when read by a computer, cause the computer to receive a sequence of signals indicating a motion of a hand of a user within a predefined area, to segment the area into multiple regions, to identify responsively to the signals, a region in which the hand is located, to assign a mapping ratio to the motion of the hand based on a direction of the motion and the region in which the hand is located, and to present, using the assigned mapping ratio, a cursor on a display responsively to the indicated motion of the hand.
