Gating Surface Touch Sensor based on Hand and Object Proximity

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable code executable by the one or more processors to:

• determine, based on first sensor data of a first type, a hand location of a hand;
• in response to determining that the hand location satisfies a proximity threshold to a physical surface:
• initiate a monitoring process of a surface of the hand, wherein the monitoring process comprises capturing second sensor data of a second type different than the first sensor data,
• determine a touch status based on second sensor data, and
• trigger a user input action based on the touch status.
