Abstract

A virtual display visible via extended reality equipment (XR equipment) is controlled by user input to a physical controller that also controls a physical display. The physical controller may be a keyboard, a trackpad, a mouse, a joystick, a gaming controller, gaming console, or an appliance remote controller. The virtual display may be generated by a movement of a graphical user interface element on the physical display beyond a display area of the physical display or in other ways. The virtual display may be anchored to the physical display so as to move in response to movement of the physical device. A second virtual display may be similarly generated in response to further user input via the physical device and may be automatically positioned so as to be visible via the XR equipment on a same vertical plane or arc as the first virtual display.
