PROVIDING VISUAL FEEDBACK DURING TOUCH-BASED OPERATIONS ON USER INTERFACE ELEMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18341360 Titled 'PROVIDING VISUAL FEEDBACK DURING TOUCH-BASED OPERATIONS ON USER INTERFACE ELEMENTS'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes technologies that provide visual feedback to users during touch-based operations on user interface elements in virtual reality devices. This visual feedback confirms that the operations on the UI elements were successful, making it easier for users to select and interact with the elements. This can reduce the number of attempts needed to perform operations, thereby saving computing resources.


Original Abstract Submitted

Technologies are disclosed for providing visual feedback during touch-based operations on user interface (“UI”) elements. Through implementations of the disclosed technologies, visual feedback can be provided to users during certain touch-based operations on UI elements presented by virtual reality (“VR”) devices. The visual feedback can provide confirmation to users that certain operations on UI elements were performed successfully. The visual feedback provided by the disclosed technologies can make it easier for users to select a UI element, to understand that actions taken to select a UI element were successful, and to successfully perform operations on UI elements once they have been selected. These benefits can reduce the number of times users need to attempt certain operations on UI elements. This, in turn, can reduce the utilization of computing resources, such as memory and processor cycles, by devices implementing the disclosed technologies.
