Abstract
During control of a user interface via free-space motions of a hand or other suitable control object, switching between control modes may be facilitated by tracking the control object's movements relative to, and its penetration of, a virtual control construct (such as a virtual surface construct). The position of the virtual control construct may be updated, continuously or from time to time, based on the control object's location.
