1. A method, comprising:
- displaying a user interface of an application on a source device in a source format;
identifying a target device electronically coupled to the application on the source device;
determining a target format for the user interface based on the target device;
displaying the user interface simultaneously on the target device in the target format and on the source device in the source format; and
synchronizing state of the user interface on the target device and the source device.

Abstract
Disclosed is a method and system for displaying a user interface of an application on a source device in a source format and on a target device in a target format simultaneously. The target device electronically coupled to the application on the source device is identified and the target format of the user interface is determined in runtime based on the target device. The user interface is displayed on the target device in the target format and on the source device in the source format simultaneously. A state of the user interface on the target device and the source device is synchronized.
