Abstract
In an embodiment, a method includes detecting a motion pattern in proximity to a first midair interface (MAI) device, the motion pattern being of a body part of a user. In an embodiment, the method includes converting the detected motion pattern to a simulated surface of an object projected from a shared MAI device, wherein the first MAI device and the shared MAI device each correspond to a different user. In an embodiment, the method includes causing a behavior change in the simulated surface being projected from the shared MAI device. An embodiment includes a computer usable program product. The computer usable program product includes a computer-readable storage device, and program instructions stored on the storage device.
