Abstract

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to facilitate user input based upon the relative position of their fingers. In the context of a method, sensor information is received that is indicative of the position of a first finger relative to a second finger. The first finger may be a thumb such that the sensor information is indicative of the position of the thumb relative to the second finger. In conjunction with the receipt of sensor information, the method receives sensor information from a sensor that is offset from an interface between the first and second fingers so as not to be positioned between the first and second fingers. The method also determines, with a processor, the relative position of the first and second fingers based upon the sensor information and causes performance of an operation in response to the relative position of the first and second fingers.
