A finger gesture user interface for an electronic device, including a housing for an electronic device including a front opening in a front outer surface of the housing, a rear opening in a rear outer surface of the housing, and inner sidewalls extending from the front opening to the rear opening to form a cavity, a display, mounted in the housing along a plane transverse to the front and rear openings, for rendering a 3D realm, a detector mounted in the inner sidewalls, operable to detect translation of a finger inserted in the cavity along a dimension of the cavity transverse to the display plane, and a processor connected to the detector and to the display for interpreting the detected finger translation as a user interface input command to move within the 3D realm along the dimension transverse to the display.

1. A finger gesture user interface for an electronic device, comprising: a housing for an electronic device comprising: a front opening in a front outer surface of the housing;a rear opening in a rear outer surface of the housing; andinner sidewalls extending from said front opening to said rear opening to form a cavity;a display, mounted in said housing along a plane transverse to said front and rear openings, for rendering a three-dimensional (3D) realm;a detector mounted in said inner sidewalls, operable to detect translation of a finger inserted in the cavity along a dimension of the cavity transverse to the display plane; anda processor connected to said detector and to said display for interpreting the detected finger translation as a user interface input command to move within the 3D realm along the dimension transverse to the display. 2. The user interface of claim 1, wherein said housing comprises first and second sections connected by a hinge that enables folding the two sections onto each other, wherein said display is mounted in said first section and the cavity is located in said second section within a frame that fits around the edges of said first section when the sections are folded, and wherein said display is oriented along the plane transverse to said front and rear openings when the sections are unfolded. 3. The user interface of claim 1, wherein said detector is further operable to detect at least-five location and orientation attributes in response to the finger being inserted inside the cavity; namely, (i) location along an x-axis;(ii) location along a y-axis;(iii) location along a z-axis;(iv) polar angle in the xz-plane; and(v) polar angle in the yz-plane, wherein the locations and polar angles are with reference to x and y axes along the length and width of the front opening of the cavity and to a z axis along the height of the cavity from front to rear. 4. The user interface of claim 1, wherein said detector is further operable to detect a multi-finger spread gesture and a multi-finger pinch gesture inside the cavity. 5. The user interface of claim 4, wherein said processor interprets the detected multi-finger spread gesture as a user interface input command to open a widget, document, web page, album or photograph. 6. The user interface of claim 4, wherein said processor interprets the detected multi-finger pinch gesture as a user interface input command to close an open widget, document, web page, album or photograph. 7. The user interface of claim 1, wherein said detector is further operable to detect a speed of insertion of the finger along the height of the cavity from front to rear, and wherein an attribute of the user interface input command is configured according to the speed. 8. The user interface of claim 1, wherein said detector is further operable to detect two polar angles of the finger inside the cavity with reference to x and y axes along the length and width of the front opening of the cavity and to a z axis along the height of the cavity from front to rear, namely, (i) polar angle in the xz-plane; and(ii) polar angle in the yz-plane, and wherein said processor interprets changes in the polar angles as user interface input commands. 9. The user interface of claim 8, wherein a gesture comprising tilting the finger inside the cavity causes said display to render a pop-up menu. 10. The user interface of claim 1, wherein said detector is further operable to detect a multi-finger rotation gesture inside the cavity. 11. The user interface of claim 10, wherein said processor causes said display to render a rotation of a displayed image, in response to said detector detecting the multi-finger rotation gesture.
