1. A method comprising:
- receiving input data for a user input, the input data having been sensed by one or more sensors and including data for locations touched by an object in an active display area of an interactive display device as well as data for locations touched by the object in an area outside of the active display area of the interactive display device; and
determining, based on the data for the locations touched by the object in the active display area as well as the locations touched by the object in the area outside of the active display area, the user input.

Abstract
One or more sensors are disposed to sense user inputs in an active display area as well as user inputs in an extended area that is outside of the active display area. Data for user inputs, such as gestures, may include data from user inputs sensed in both the active display area and outside of the active display area. The user inputs can begin and/or end outside of the active display area.
