Claim 18:
19. A wearable multimedia device, comprising:
a laser projector;
at least one of a camera or a depth sensor;
at least one processor; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
projecting, using the laser projector, a virtual interface (VI) on a surface, the VI comprising a first selectable user interface element and a second selectable user interface element, wherein the second selectable user interface element partially overlaps the first selectable user interface element and away from the surface;
detecting, based on sensor data from at least one of the camera or the depth sensor, that a user has positioned a finger in proximity with the first selectable user interface element and away from the surface,
wherein detecting that the user has positioned the finger in proximity with the first selectable user interface element and away from surface comprises determining, based on the sensor data, that the user has aligned a tip of the finger with the first selectable user interface, such that the tip of the finger is not in contact with the surface; and
responsive to detecting that the user has positioned the finger in proximity with the first selectable user interface element, modifying a visual characteristic of at least one of the first selectable user interface element or the second selectable user interface element, including presenting the first selectable user interface element such that it partially overlaps the second selectable user interface element.
