Abstract: A method for augmenting a physical display with an extended reality display. A processor receives first signals representative of a first object fully presented on a physical display, second signals representative of a second object having a first portion presented on the physical display and a second portion extending beyond a border of the physical display, and third signals representative of a third object initially presented on the physical display and subsequently wholly moved beyond the border of the physical display. In response to receiving the second signals, the second portion is presented via a wearable extended reality appliance in a virtual space while the first portion is presented on the physical display. In response to receiving the third signals, the third object is wholly presented via the wearable extended reality appliance in the virtual space following the third object having been wholly presented on the physical display.
