Human–computer interaction

The frame around a screen, used as an input surface

In human–computer interaction, the bezel is the non-display border framing a touchscreen, and interaction designers treat it as a distinct input region: a gesture that begins on the bezel and crosses onto the screen is mechanically separable from gestures made within the display, so it can carry commands without conflicting with ordinary touches. Roth and Turner's 2009 Bezel swipe introduced bezel-initiated gestures as a way to add conflict-free scrolling and multiple selection on mobile touch devices. The referent is the physical screen frame reconceived as an interaction surface, a construct about touch input that shares only the word with a jeweler's metal collar.[1]
