Claim:
1. A method comprising: projecting first electromagnetic radiation into a first gesture zone, wherein the projected first electromagnetic radiation defines an adaptive coordinate system within the first gesture zone; detecting a dexterous gesture of a user within the first gesture zone based on the projected first electromagnetic radiation, wherein movements of the user within the first gesture zone beyond a pre-defined threshold of movement are filtered out and not considered as dexterous gestures; projecting second electromagnetic radiation into a second gesture zone; detecting a coarse gesture of the user within the second gesture zone based on the projected second electromagnetic radiation, wherein movements of the user within the second gesture zone below a pre-defined threshold of movement are filtered out and not considered as coarse gestures; determining a control action associated with at least one of the detected dexterous gesture of the user or the detected coarse gesture of the user, wherein the control action is determined based on a user profile of the user; determining a device for applying the control action based on at least one of the detected dexterous gesture or the detected coarse gesture; and modifying a user interface of the device based upon the determined control action of the user.
