User interaction support across cross-environment applications

A method comprising:

• displaying a first application running on a first operating system within a first user environment, the first user environment associated with the first operating system on a mobile computing device;
• displaying a second application running on the first operating system within a second user environment, the second user environment associated with a second operating system on a desktop device, the second operating system running concurrently with the first operating system on a shared kernel of the mobile computing device, wherein the mobile computing device and the desktop device are distinct;
• receiving, by the first operating system, a first input event from a first input device associated with the first user environment;
• passing, by the first operating system, the first input event to a first application;
• receiving, by the second operating system, a second input event from a second input device associated with the second user environment;
• sending, by a console application of the second operating system, the second input event as a third input event to a virtual input device;
• receiving, by the first operating system, the third input event from the virtual input device;
• and
• passing, by the first operating system, the third input event to a second application.

A mobile computing device comprising:

• a first application and a second application in active concurrent execution within a first operating system of a mobile computing device;
• a first input device that receives a first input event from an input element of a first user environment, the first user environment associated with the first operating system on the mobile computing device;
• a second input device that receives a second input event from an input element of a second user environment, the second user environment associated with a second operating system on a desktop device, the second operating system running concurrently with the first operating system on a shared kernel, wherein the mobile computing device and the desktop device are distinct;
• and
• a console application running in the second operating system that receives the second input event and passes a third input event based on the second input event to a virtual input device accessible by the first operating system,
• wherein the first operating system receives the first input event and passes the first input event to the first application, and wherein the first operating system receives the third input event and passes the third input event to the second application.
