1. An electronic device:
wherein the electronic device is adapted to be configured in a mono-user mode, where the electronic device is controlled at least partially by captured physical actions of at least one tracked input element obtained by tracking a single user, and in a multi-user mode where the electronic device is controlled at least partially by captured physical actions of tracked input elements obtained by tracking a group of tracked users comprising two or more users manipulating different tracked input elements,
wherein user tracking is performed with one or more sensing devices coupled to the electronic device,
wherein said tracked input elements correspond to tracked physical objects or parts of the user's body, the electronic device comprising at least one processor configured to:
select at least one tracked candidate user and the mode of said electronic device to be the mono-user mode or the multi-user mode according to at least one selection request captured by the one or more sensing devices as performed by the at least one tracked candidate user, and
when the mode of said electronic device is the multi-user mode, and upon receiving a selection request of a candidate user during a selection period, add said candidate user in said group of tracked users according to a confirmation of a first user of said group of tracked users;
