The sensor system is adapted to detect the positioning of a hand or body part and compensate for the changing positions of the hand or body part. When the positioning of the hand or body part changes, the controls that are able to be activated by the hand or body part also change and adapt to the location where the controls are activated, providing accessible and/or contextualized controls.
