Claim:
1. An apparatus comprising: a sensing element to sense a presence and movement of a user of the apparatus performed within a sensing range of the apparatus, the sensing element including a camera to detect command gestures of the user, the sensing range being a range within which the camera can view the user, the sensing element to detect a command gesture by the user performed through space within the sensing range to provide input to the apparatus, wherein detecting a command gesture includes the sensing element to sense position and movement of a first hand and a second hand of the user within the sensing range of the apparatus; a processor, wherein operation of the processor includes interpretation of the command gesture of the user within the sensing range and the implementation of actions in response to the command gesture; and a display screen to display elements to the user, wherein the display screen may display one or more elements as objects for operation by command gestures; wherein the command gesture is a coordinated two-hand command gesture of the user performed by the first hand and the second hand of the user within the sensing range; wherein, for the two-hand command gesture, the first hand performs a first gesture within the sensing range to indicate a first operation to place and maintain the apparatus in a first state, the first state including maintaining a display of a plurality of objects on the display screen, and the second hand performs a second gesture within the sensing range to indicate a second coordinated operation, the second operation to operate on one or more of the plurality of objects on the display screen.
