Each of the multiple virtual keys has at least one noninterfering path from the input starting point to each virtual key. The noninterfering path is not interfered by any other virtual keys. Displacement data of a focus of attention is received from sensing hardware. Responsive to determining that the focus of attention reaches the input starting point based on the displacement data, detection of a virtual key input is activated. Responsive to detecting that the focus of attention moves from the input starting point to a first virtual key, it is determined that the first virtual key is input; and the detection of the virtual key input is terminated.
