Abstract
Cross-environment rendering and user interaction support provide a seamless computing experience in a multi-operating system computing environment. The multi-operating system computing environment may include a mobile operating system and a desktop operating system running concurrently and independently on a mobile computing device. The seamless computing experience includes mirroring the active user interaction space of the mobile operating system to a display of a user environment associated with the desktop operating system. The user interface is rendered by the desktop operating system by accessing surface information of the active user interaction space directly from shared memory. The mobile computing device may be a smartphone running the Android mobile operating system and a full desktop Linux distribution on a modified Android kernel.
