Abstract

Apparatus and techniques for providing a user interface for a computing device such as a pervasive computing device. The computing device projects a user input display from a projector onto a surface. A user output display is projected from the projector of the computing device onto a surface. The user input display and the user output display may be projected from the same projector. The user input display and user output display may be projected on different surfaces. A single projected image may be split and directed with a mirror system.
