Claim One:
1. A method of operating a gesture recognition based user interface comprising a display for displaying a plurality of graphical objects, and a spatial detector for detecting a distance and/or a viewing angle of a user relative to the display, the method comprising: (a) using the spatial detector to detect a change of the distance and/or the viewing angle of the user relative to the display, wherein the change of the distance and/or the viewing angle of the user relative to the display results in a change of a sensitivity of the gesture recognition; (b) automatically adjusting at least one of position, orientation, size, shape, color, brightness, or contrast of at least one of the plurality of graphical objects displayed by the display, in dependence upon the change detected in step (a), so as to lessen a change of visible shape or size, and/or a change of visibility of the at least one graphical object to the user, resulting from the change detected in step (a); (c) automatically adjusting the gesture recognition sensitivity in dependence on the change of the distance and/or the viewing angle of the user, detected in step (a), so as to lessen the change of the gesture recognition sensitivity due to the change of the distance and/or viewing angle of the user; and (d) repeating steps (a) through (c) by continuously adjusting the at least one of position, orientation, size, shape, color, brightness, or contrast of the at least one graphical object, so as to lessen changes of the visible shape or size, and/or changes of the visibility of the at least one graphical object, resulting from changes of the distance and/or the viewing angle of the user relative to the display; and by continuously adjusting the gesture recognition sensitivity, so as to lessen the change of the gesture recognition sensitivity due to the change of the distance and/or viewing angle of the user.
