Claim:
1. An apparatus, comprising: at least one input tracking sensor; at least one head-mounted output display; at least one computational device communicatively coupled to the at least one input tracking sensor and at least one head mounted output display, wherein the at least one computational device is configured to execute processor-readable program instructions, that cause the at least one computational device to: provide a plurality of icons for display by the at least one head-mounted output display, the plurality of icons associated with positions in a spatial coordinate system and configured for selection; receive data from the at least one input tracking sensor including data corresponding to a depth map, process the depth map to determine spatial coordinates associated with a user gesture; determine a relationship between the spatial coordinates associated with the user gesture when compared to a position of an icon within the spatial coordinate system indicates interaction with at least one icon from the plurality of icons; and update the display of the plurality of icons by the at least one head-mounted output display in response to the determined interaction with the at least one icon, wherein the relationship includes a distance measured between spatial coordinates associated with the user gesture that is greater than a first threshold and less than a second threshold at a first instance in time and is greater than the second threshold at a second instance of time, indicating a specific user interaction or gesture related to at least one icon of plurality of icons.
