Abstract
Described techniques enable a virtual touchpad for a wearable device by receiving, in response to a touch event, a sensor signal from a motion sensor coupled to the wearable device, the wearable device providing a user interface with a rendering space that is defined relative to the wearable device. The touch event may be associated with a contact space of a contact map defined with respect to the wearable device, based on the sensor signal, and a user interface event of the user interface that corresponds to the contact space may be rendered within the rendering space.
