Technologies for displaying graphical elements on a graphical user interface include a wearable computing device to generate a captured image. The wearable computing device analyzes the captured image to generate image location metric data for one or more prospective locations on the graphical user interface at which to place a graphical element. The image location metric data indicates one or more image characteristics of the corresponding prospective location. The wearable computing device determines appropriateness data for each prospective location based on the corresponding image location metric data. The appropriate data indicates a relative suitability of the corresponding location for display of the graphical element. The wearable computing device selects one of the prospective locations based on the appropriateness data and displays the graphical element on the graphical user interface at the selected prospective location.
