modifying, by the first device, the display object to a suitable format for display on a second display of a second device;
transmitting, by the first device, the display object modified to the suitable format for display on the second display to the second device for rendering on the second display while the display object is displayed on the first display, wherein the display object is presented on the second display as an active object configured to receive one or more user inputs by way of a direct user interaction with the display object at the second device, wherein the second display has a different size than the first display;
receiving, by the first device from the second device, the one or more user inputs to the application;
updating, by the first device, the application based on the one or more user inputs received via the display object at the second device;
