Abstract

Various embodiments are generally directed a method and apparatus having a touch screen module to receive first input data from a touch screen sensor based on one or more detected touch inputs at a first location of a virtual object displayed on a display. In addition, an ultrasonic module may receive second input data from an ultrasonic sensor based on detected non-touch motion associated with the virtual object. The detected non-touch motion may be tracked from the first location to a second location in a direction away from the first location based on the second input data and used to determine the second location for the virtual object based on the tracking.
