Abstract
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.
