Abstract
System and techniques for a virtual detent bezel device are described herein, a configuration that specifies a detent pattern and an output pattern corresponding to the detent pattern may be received receiving by the virtual detent bezel device. A physical portion of the virtual detent bezel device may sense a rotational action of a user interacting with a physical portion of the virtual detent bezel device. The rotational action may be compared to a present rotational position to determine a rotational change. The rotational change may be thresholded against the detent pattern to determine that a detent is crossed. A haptic feedback device may be activated in response to determining that the detent is crossed. A portion of the output pattern that corresponds to the detent that is crossed may be output by the virtual detent bezel device.
