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.

20. A method comprising:
-
receiving input data for a user input, the input data including both data for at least part of the user input in an active display area of an interactive display device and data for at least part of the user input in an area outside of the active display area of the display device, the user input beginning outside of the active display area of the display device, and the receiving comprising receiving the input data while the user input is outside of the active display area but in response to the user input being predicted to be in the active display area in the future; and determining, based on the input data, the user input.
