Claims
- 1. A method of providing information to a display system user, comprising:
providing a first image on a first display; detecting the location of a second display relative to the first display; providing data to the second display based on the detected location of the second display; generating a second image on the second display, with the second image generated from the data provided to the second display to provide at least one of enhanced display of a portion of the first image, solicitation for input, and additional output not provided in the first image.
- 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
transmitting data representative of the detected location of the second display to a processing device.
- 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
transmitting second display data from the processing device to the second display device.
- 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
receiving input from a user, by the second display.
- 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
extracting embedded information based on the location of the second display.
- 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
providing tactile feedback to a user of the second display.
- 7. The method of claim 6, wherein tactile feedback includes providing device deformation using electronic muscle.
- 8. A moveable output device configured for movement across a primary display surface, the primary display being in communication with a processing device, comprising:
a device housing supporting at least one of a visual display, an audio device, and a tactile feedback device, the device housing supporting a processor; and a wireless communications device receiving output data from the processing device, the output data being based on location data from a location sensor sensing the relative location of the device housing and the primary display surface, the output device generating an output based on the output data; wherein a user of the output device receives an enhanced output as compared with the primary display output.
- 9. The moveable output device of claim 3, wherein the enhanced output includes enhanced textual information.
- 10. The moveable output device of claim 3, wherein the enhanced output includes enhanced graphics information.
- 11. The moveable output device of claim 8, wherein the enhanced output includes enhanced color.
- 12. The moveable output device of claim 8, wherein the enhanced output includes input options provided to a user.
- 13. The moveable output device of claim 8, wherein the enhanced output includes tactile feedback provided to the user.
- 14. The moveable output device of claim 8, wherein the enhanced output includes audio information.
- 15. The moveable output device of claim 8, wherein the enhanced output includes video information.
