1. A system comprising:

  • a tilt sensor configured to measure tilt data representing tilt of a device about at least a first axis, a second axis, and a third axis; and

    at least a first control located on the device and configured to receive user input that is different than the measured tilt data; and

    a processor configured to receive a selection of the first control and further configured to output an output signal based upon the selection of the first control and the tilt data,wherein the tilt sensor is configured to measure the tilt data with respect to at least one tilt region defined around the first axis and the processor is configured to, when the processor receives the selection of the first control at a time when the tilt data is outside of any defined tilt region, provide no output, provide output corresponding to a closest defined tilt region, or provide output corresponding to a most recent output.
