Abstract

In one embodiment, a method includes generating, at a multi-view display, a first content to be viewed at a first angle and a second content to be viewed at a second angle. The first content and the second content are displayed simultaneously. The method also includes receiving, at a touch-screen panel coupled to the multi-view display, a first plurality of capacitive signals. The method then generates, by the touch-screen panel, a first touch-screen panel heatmap based on the received first plurality of capacitive signals. The method afterwards determines, based on the first touch-screen panel heatmap, whether a first user input is received with respect to the first content or the second content. The method then assigns, based on determining the first user input corresponds to either the first content or the second content, the first user input to the first content or the second content.
