Behind-display user interface

A computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:

• displaying, on an opaque display component on a user-facing side of the computing device, a graphical object;
• sensing, using a sensing component of the computing device, movement of a physical pointer controlled by a user, wherein the physical pointer is located opposite the user-facing side of the computing device;
• displaying, on the opaque display component, a representation of the physical pointer during the movement of the physical pointer;
• and
• modifying, as displayed on the opaque display component, the graphical object based on the sensed movement of the physical pointer during the movement of the physical pointer.

A computing device comprising:

• an opaque display component on a user-facing side of the computing device;
• a sensing component;
• at least one processor;
• and
• memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
• displaying, on the opaque display component, a graphical object;
• sensing, using the sensing component, movement of a physical pointer controlled by a user, wherein the physical pointer is located opposite the user-facing side of the computing device;
• displaying, on the opaque display component, a representation of the physical pointer during the movement of the physical pointer;
• and
• modifying, as displayed on the opaque display component, the graphical object based on the sensed movement of the physical pointer during the movement of the physical pointer.
