In many computing scenarios, a user of a primary device may wish to incorporate an auxiliary device in the presentation of an application. Such incorporation may involve a terminal services session that projects the computing environment of the primary device onto the auxiliary device; mirroring the computing environment of the primary device through the auxiliary device; and/or utilizing applications that interoperate with client applications executing on the second device. However, such techniques may not fully reflect the properties of each device, and/or may only apply to particular applications and/or configurations. Instead, the primary device may adapt the primary computing environment to an auxiliary computing environment according to a device property of the auxiliary device; partition the application into a primary application portion presented within the primary computing environment and an auxiliary application portion presented within the auxiliary computing environment; and transmit the auxiliary computing environment to the auxiliary device.
