10. A controller device, comprising:
wherein the controller device is coupled to at least one of a set of displays that are spatially arranged so that each display device is positioned adjacent at least one other display device and wherein each display device includes a screen structure having a set of presence sensitive sensors, with each display device being operable, for each presence sensitive sensor of a corresponding screen structure, to detect a presence signal and to radiate a presence signal; and
wherein the controller device further comprises a processor and a memory, with the memory containing instructions executable by the processor whereby the processor is configured to:
initiate a timer associated with determining that a detection of the radiated presence signal is within a certain time period after the presence signal is radiated;
receive an indication that a second display device of the set of display devices has detected a presence signal radiated from a presence sensitive sensor of a screen structure of a first display device of the set of display devices at a presence sensitive sensor of a screen structure of the second display device; and
in response to determining that the presence signal radiated from the presence sensitive sensor of the screen structure of the first display device is detected in the certain time period based on the timer, determine a spatial arrangement of the first and second display devices on a surface based on a location of the presence sensitive sensor on the screen structure of the first display device from which the first display device radiated the presence signal and a location of the presence sensitive sensor on the screen structure of the second display device at which the second display device detected the radiated presence signal.
