1. An apparatus comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
detect a first one or more parts of a hand of a user within a first defined distance of a touch sensitive tactile display;
detect a second one or more parts of a hand of the user within the first defined distance of the touch sensitive tactile display;
determine based, at least in part, on the first one or more detected parts of the hand of the user, a first expected type of user interaction with the display, including determining a first expected number of parts of the hand that are expected to contact with the display as part of the first expected type of user interaction;
determine based, at least in part, on the second one or more detected parts of the hand of the user, a second expected type of user interaction with the display, including determining a second expected number of parts of the hand that are expected to contact with the display as part of the second expected type of user interaction; and
provide tactile feedback to the user based on the first expected type of user interaction and the second expected type of user interaction when the user makes contact with the display dependent on the first expected type of user interaction and before a contact based on the second expected type of user interaction.
