1. A method of determining virtual input at a data entry device, comprising: associating an input symbol or function with a corresponding actuation parameter of an input region of the data entry device; assigning the input symbol or function to a corresponding input object set from a group of input objects; providing an input module and performing with the input module remote data acquisition of at least one input region of the data entry device; providing a processor of the device and, with the processor: determining from the data acquisition an actuation of an input region caused by an input object set; determining from the data acquisition at least one parameter of the actuation within the input region; identifying from the data acquisition the input object set from the group of input objects; and determining for the actuated input region an input symbol or function associated with the parameter of actuation and corresponding to the identification of the input object set.
