Abstract

A method comprising: performing user input detection using at least a first detector; detecting using at least the first detector a predefined first phase of a predefined user gesture; detecting using at least a second detector a predefined second phase of the predefined user gesture; and responsive to detecting both the predefined first phase and the predefined second phase of the predefined user gesture, switching between operating in a two-dimensional user interface state and operating in a three-dimensional user interface state.
