Dynamic hover sensitivity and gesture adaptation in a dual display system

An information handling system including a display device in a first display device housing operable to detect a touch device hovering above the display device and operable to receive touch inputs and a processor to determine a set default sense state for the display device based on orientation, operating application, or usage mode of the information handling system where the display device detects a first gesture and the processor to determine if the first gesture is consistent with the set default sense state for the orientation, operating application, or usage mode of the information handling system and if so to process the first gesture with the default sense state and the processor to set an alternative sense state if the first gesture is not consistent with the set default sense state.
