1. A user interface system comprising:

  • a plane registration module, the plane registration module configured to identify a first plane within an environment;

    a gesture and posture recognition (GPR) module, the GPR module configured to observe a first allocation gesture, a second allocation gesture, a first modal gesture, a second modal gesture, and a third modal gesture within the environment;

    a region definition module, the region definition module configured to;

    determine, as defined by the first allocation gesture, a first region comprising a first portion of the first plane, anddetermine, as defined by the second allocation gesture, a second region comprising a second portion of the first plane;

    a mode determination module, the mode determination module configured to;

    determine, as defined by the first modal gesture, a first interaction mode of the first region, the first interaction mode of the first region comprising a first plurality of commands for a user to interact with a device,determine, as defined by the second modal gesture, a first interaction mode of the second region, the first interaction mode of the second region comprising a second plurality of commands for the user to interact with the device, anddetermine, as defined by the third modal gesture, a second interaction mode of the first region, the second interaction mode of the first region comprising a third plurality of commands for the user to interact with the device,wherein the first interaction mode of the first region and the second interaction mode of the first region are different, wherein the first interaction mode and the second interaction mode are each at least one selected from a group consisting of a touch input mode, a key-press interaction mode, and a handwritten text interaction mode; and

    a visual feedback module including visual feedback circuitry, the visual feedback module configured to provide visual feedback associated with a parameter of the first region.
