1. An apparatus comprising:
- a sensor; and
a computer-readable non-transitory storage medium embodying instructions; and
one or more processors coupled to the media and configured to execute the instructions to;
determine, based on output from the sensor, a proximity of an object to the apparatus;
compare the determined proximity to a threshold proximity;
select, based on the comparison, an interaction mode for processing interactions between the object and the apparatus, the interaction mode comprising one of;
a first interaction mode; and
a second interaction mode; and
process interactions between the object and the apparatus according to the selected interaction mode.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes determining, based on output from a sensor, a proximity of an object to a device and comparing the determined proximity to a threshold proximity. The method further includes selecting, based on the comparison, an interaction mode for processing interactions between the object and the device. The method further includes processing interactions between the object and the device according to the selected interaction mode.
