Claim:
A process for selectable input based on motion of an object associated with a user in relation to an input region having a plurality of selectable regions therein, the process comprising the steps of: tracking the motion of the object in relation to the input region; determining an object path of the object, comprising a plurality of positions and corresponding times, based upon the tracked motion; for subsequent positions and corresponding times, comparing to path data; detecting positions that meet at least one threshold of a selected position along the determined object path, wherein the determined object path comprises at least two selected positions, wherein the threshold of a selected position within the region comprises any of starting the object path, changing direction of the object path, changing velocity of the object path, pausing motion in the object path, and ending the object path, determining which of the detected selected positions along the determined object path correspond to a selectable region; and entering each of the detected selected positions that correspond to one of the selectable regions.
