Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a system and method for enabling multi-display input. According to one embodiment, the presence of an object is detected within a display area of a first display panel or a second display panel via at least one optical sensor coupled to a processor. Positional data of the object is received from the optical sensor, and a control operation associated with either the first display or second display panel is determined based on the positional data received from the optical sensor.
