Various embodiments are generally directed to the provision of multiple modes of a user interface that are automatically selected in response to the position and gestures of its operator. An apparatus includes an image sensor to capture at least one image of an operator, and a position component communicatively coupled to the image sensor to determine a proximate distance of the operator to a manually-operable control and to provide the determination of the distance to a user interface component to enable dynamic selection of one of multiple views of a visual portion of a user interface. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
