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 mobile operating system may be associated with a first user environment and the desktop operating system may be associated with a second user environment. Real-time display of applications running in the mobile operating system within the second user environment is provided by rendering the application through an extended graphics context of the mobile operating system. Application graphics for multiple applications are rendered into portions of a single graphics frame. 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.
