  • receiving a touch input through a proximity-sensitive display on a user device;

    classifying the touch input as likely a left-handed touch input or a right-handed touch input;

    identifying a particular portion of the user interface that is likely to not be visually obscured based on classifying the touch input as likely a left-handed touch input or a right-handed touch input;

    determining to position a user interface element on the particular portion of the user interface that, based on classifying the touch input as likely a left-handed touch input or a right-handed touch input, is identified as likely to not be visually obscured; and

    providing, for display on the proximity-sensitive display on the user device, the user interface including the user interface element positioned on the particular portion of the user interface that, based on classifying the touch input as likely a left-handed touch input or a right-handed touch input, is identified as likely to not be visually obscured.
