description A method for recognizing a selection from among at least two alternatives, the method comprising determining the positions corresponding to each alternative in the space surrounding a user on the basis of their distance and direction with respect to the user so that the locations of the positions remain significantly the same with respect to the user irrespective of the user's location; allowing the user to carry out a first movement for moving a member of the body to the position that corresponds to the alternative he desires; recognizing a second movement carried out by the user in the position that corresponds to the alternative the user desires; in response to the second movement, recognizing the selection the user desires as carried out; and providing the recognized selection as output. The invention further relates to a device implementing the method, which can be, for example, a computer or a mobile station.
