Claim:
1. A method for analyzing an object's movement relative to a two dimensional (2D) display, the method comprising: associating a first region on the 2D display with a first function of a system, the first region having a size and location on the 2D display that is based on a significance of the first function; associating second region on the 2D display with a second function of the system, the second region having a size and location on the 2D display that is based on a significance of the second function, wherein the second significance is less than the first significance, and the first region and the second region do not overlap; detecting a location of the object; generating a first volume that is a projection of the first region toward the object; generating a second volume that is a projection of the second region toward the object; detecting a movement of the object; dividing the movement of the object into a first part that occurs within the first volume and a second part that occurs within the second volume; and comparing the first part to an algorithm comprising interaction requirements specific to the first volume and its respective function, and comparing the second part to an algorithm comprising interaction requirements specific to the second volume and its respective function.
