Abstract
Data files, applications and/or corresponding user interfaces may be accessed at a device that collaborates in a mesh. The mesh may include any number or type of devices that collaborate in a network. Data, applications and/or corresponding user interfaces may be stored within a core object that may be shared over the mesh. Information in the core object may be identified with a corresponding user such that a user may use any collaborating device in the mesh to access the information. In one example, the information is stored remotely from a device used to access the information. A remote source may store the desired information or may determine the storage location of the desired information in the mesh and may further provide the desired information to a corresponding user.

15. A method of accessing data comprising:
-
projecting a view to a first device in a plurality of devices, the view containing a representation of the plurality of devices; receiving a request for a data file on the first device, the data file being associated with a corresponding application, at least one of the data file or the corresponding application not being stored on the first device; determining a location of the at least one of the data file or the corresponding application not stored on the first device; and launching the data file and the corresponding application at the first device from the determined location. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A system for storing a core object associated with a user comprising a plurality of devices, the core object being stored remotely from the plurality of devices and comprising a data file, an application corresponding to the data file, and a user interface, wherein any one device in the plurality of devices receives a view of the core object and launches the data file and corresponding application responsive to an input command via the view of the core object.
