Abstract

Various embodiments provide dynamic display locations of virtual control buttons based upon detected movement of a computing device. A computing device displays a virtual control button at a first location, such as a location based upon a grip profile. At some point later, the computing device detects movement via a sensor included in the computing device. Upon detecting the movement, the computing device visually moves the virtual control button to at least a second location based upon the detected movement.
