Claim 10:
11. A method for inputting a command to a computing system, comprising the steps of:
providing a keyboard further comprising a keyboard housing comprising one or more keyboard keys for typing and a pair of stereo camera sensors mounted within the keyboard housing, a field of view of the pair of stereo camera sensors projecting substantially perpendicularly to the plane of the keyboard housing;
defining a gesture region within the field of view of the pair of stereo camera sensors to monitor movement of a gesture object;
defining a plurality of interaction zones within the gesture region; and
defining a virtual membrane defining a region of transition from one of the plurality of interaction zones to another of the plurality of interaction zones;
wherein movement of the gesture object from one of the plurality of interaction zones to another of the plurality of interaction zones through the virtual membrane defining the region of transition therebetween defines a dynamic gesture interaction.
