Abstract:
A controller system for surfacing selectable elements on a display of the controller along with game content associated with a video game is described. In an example, a user may provide touch input on the display, and, in response, a game content window that is presenting the game content may scale and/or move to a new position on the display in order to create space on the display for presenting one or more selectable elements outside of the scaled and/or repositioned game content window. The surfaced element(s) may be selectable to cause performance of a game-related action. In this manner, the selectable element(s) do(es) not occlude the game content, and the user may interact with both the game content and the selectable element(s) presented on the display.
