1. A method comprising:
receiving a simulation request;
in response to the simulation request, generating a simulation layer of an original user interface (UI) by,
extracting information regarding a plurality of user elements of the original UI,
creating a mesh including a plurality of positions, and
copying the plurality of user elements to respective positions in the mesh;
storing the simulation layer in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium;
displaying the mesh overlying the original UI;
receiving an event;
determining that a type of the event is a simulated change to the UI; and
changing the simulation layer in a synchronous manner responsive to the event.
