1. A method for adjusting user input interaction types based on actively determining an engagement level of a user, the method comprising:
recognizing a first type of user input interaction associated with a first composite engagement level; receiving engagement indicia of the user; quantifying each of the engagement indicium according to respective metrics to determine engagement levels based on each of the engagement indicium; computing a second composite engagement level for the user based on the engagement levels associated with each of the engagement indicium; comparing the second composite engagement level to a threshold engagement level; and in response to determining that the second composite engagement level corresponds to the threshold engagement level, recognizing a second type of user input interaction associated with the second composite engagement level without recognizing the first type of user input interaction.
