Abstract
A technique for sharing screen content of a host machine with a client machine includes identifying multiple screen regions formed by image features within screen content of the host machine and enabling a user of the client machine to move selected screen regions to desired screen locations on the client machine, while leaving unselected screen regions in place. For example, when the user of the client machine selects and drags a particular screen region, the client machine creates a new window and displays the screen contents of the selected screen region in the new window, which the user may place and resize as desired.
