Abstract

Embodiments are disclosed that relate to providing feedback for a level of completion of a user gesture via a cursor displayed on a user interface. One disclosed embodiment provides a method comprising displaying a cursor having a visual property and moving a screen-space position of the cursor responsive to the user gesture. The method further comprises changing the visual property of the cursor in proportion to a level of completion of the user gesture. In this way, the level of completion of the user gesture may be presented to the user in a location to which the attention of the user is directed during performance of the gesture.
