Abstract
A display apparatus for displaying a moving object traversing a virtual display region comprises two or more client computer devices each being configured to display a respective portion of the virtual display region, in which each respective portion is defined by a set of edges, each edge being classified as a hard edge, from which the moving object is reflected, or a soft edge through which the moving object is allowed to pass; and a path controller, associated with each client computer device, for defining a path of the moving object with respect to the portion of the virtual display region which is displayed by that client computer device; the path controller being configured, when the path controller defines a path which intersects a soft edge of that client computer device's portion of the virtual display region, to transmit data defining the path of the moving object for use at least by another client computer device which displays the next portion of the virtual display region which will lie within the detected path of the moving object.
