A user device may include a display that includes a first area and a second area. The first area may be located around a periphery of the second area, and the first area may include a touch-sensitive surface. The user device may detect a user interaction with the first area and may determine an action associated with the user interaction. The user device may perform the action in association with information displayed in the second area.

Enabling perimeter-based user interactions with a user device

A user device may detect a connect event associated with a sensor device. The user device may be associated with a first sensor, and the sensor device may be associated with a second sensor. The user device may identify the second sensor based on detecting the connect event associated with the sensor device. The user device may replace the first sensor with the second sensor based on identifying the second sensor associated with the sensor device. The user device may provide data associated with the second sensor for use by an application of the user device.
