Abstract
A collaborative computing device group operative under a shared multiple discrete desktop user interface is established from a first desktop of a first computing device and a different discrete desktop of a second computing device physically located in user visual proximity to the first computing device. A color-coded graphical representation of a user-interface control port that allows authorized cursor navigation to and from the second computing device is displayed on the first desktop oriented in a respective direction of the second computing device. A cursor of the second computing device is authorized to migrate, under control of a user of the second computing device, from the different discrete desktop through the color-coded graphical representation of the user-interface control port of the second computing device to the first desktop and the first computing device is controlled in accordance with visual navigation and control of the cursor of the second computing device.
