Summary:Example apparatus and methods concern a first device (e.g., phone, tablet) having a touch and hover-sensitive display. The first device may detect a second device (e.g., television, monitor) that has a second display. After establishing a communication link and a context between the first and second device, the first device may provide a first output (e.g., movie, game) to be displayed on the second device. In response to identifying a hover point produced in a hover space associated with the first device, the first device may provide a second output (e.g., user interface element, cursor) for display on the second display. The second output may be based on the context and on a hover action associated with the hover point. The user may then cause a control event to be generated by interacting with the second display using the second output in relation to the cursor.
