Abstract
Apparatus comprises a processor; a user interface enabling user interaction with one or more software applications associated with the processor; first and second sensors configured to detect, and generate signals corresponding to, objects located within respective first and second sensing zones remote from the apparatus, wherein the sensors are configured such that their respective sensing zones overlap spatially to define a third, overlapping, zone in which both the first and second sensors are able to detect a common object; and a gesture recognition system for receiving signals from the sensors, the gesture recognition system being responsive to detecting an object inside the overlapping zone to control a first user interface function in accordance with signals received from both sensors.
