ABSTRACT:
Various technologies are provided to facilitate the use of a pointer (e.g., a cursor) with a large display (including displays that comprise multiple monitors). For example, solutions are presented for quickly moving the pointer across multiple monitors and for using multiple pointing devices. An interface is further provided with the ability to render an arbitrary image that trails the pointer to make the pointer easier to find on the large display. This image can visible be visible at all times, visible when requested by the user, or visible in response to a minimum amount of movement during a defined time period.
