1. A method comprising:
- determining user interface data based at least on a projection of visual element information from a projector at a first location in a three-dimensional space onto a screen object defined in the space, wherein the screen object forms at least a portion of a user interface;
determining an area of the screen object viewable by a camera positioned in a second location in the three dimensional space; and
communicating the user interface data corresponding to the area to a display interface suitable for coupling to at least one display.

Abstract
A method includes determining user interface data based at least on a projection of visual element information from a projector at a first location in a three-dimensional space onto a screen object defined in the space. The screen object forms at least a portion of a user interface. The method includes determining an area of the screen object viewable by a camera positioned in a second location in the three dimensional space, and communicating the user interface data corresponding to the area to a display interface suitable for coupling to one or more displays. Apparatus and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
