Multiple remote controllers that each simultaneously controls a different visual presentation of a 2D/3D display

A display system supporting a first viewer and a second viewer, the display system comprising:

• a screen assembly having a display area, the screen assembly operable to deliver both a first visual presentation and a second visual presentation, the first visual presentation overlapping at least in part with the second visual presentation in the display area of the screen assembly, the first visual presentation being observable to the first viewer but not the second viewer;
• a first remote control unit operable to generate a first remote control signal responsive to user input received from the first viewer;
• and
• control circuitry communicatively connected to the first remote control unit and to the screen assembly, the control circuitry operable to receive the first remote control signal and, responsive thereto, to modify the first visual presentation.

A method of operation of a display system that includes a screen assembly operable to simultaneously present first content via a first screen region and second content via a second screen region, the method comprising:

• causing a first visual presentation in the first screen region based on the first content, the first visual presentation being viewable by a first viewer but not by a second viewer;
• causing a second visual presentation in the second screen region based on the second content;
• receiving a first remote control signal from a first remote control;
• and
• causing, in response to at least the receipt of the first remote control signal, a modification to the first visual presentation without causing a modification to the second visual presentation.

A remote control unit used with a screen assembly having a display area that is simultaneously viewed by a first viewer and a second viewer, the screen assembly simultaneously supporting a first visual presentation and a second visual presentation via the display area, the first visual presentation being based on first content and the second visual presentation being based on second content, the remote control unit comprising:

• a user interface operable to receive first user input from the first viewer;
• processing circuitry that responds to the first user input by producing a first remote control signal, the first remote control signal being suitable to cause the first visual presentation to be observable by the first viewer but not by the second viewer;
• and
• a transmitter that delivers the first remote control signal.
