Abstract: A unified input and display system and method for enabling sensing interferences made by a user (such as touch or hovering) using multiple interference techniques and instruments. One system comprises: a touch screen that enables emitting and guiding light to enable a user to input drawings by physically interfering the light emitted therefrom and displaying of the interference therethrough; a sensing system comprising a multiplicity of optical sensors arranged according to a predefined layout positioned in relation to the touch screen in a manner that allows the sensors to sense light arriving from the touch screen and translate the sensing into frames each including a pixilated image data of the sensed light; and a screen unification module enabling to unify frames sensed by the sensors at a given moment into a single screen reading comprising a unified whole-screen pixilated image data.
