1. An apparatus comprising:
a memory; and
one or more processors coupled to the memory, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
receive user input via a touch-based user input device having a user input device aspect ratio, wherein the user input is received within a subset of an input area of the touch-based user input device, and wherein an aspect ratio associated with the subset of the input area is different than the user input device aspect ratio;
based on the user input, identify the subset from among a plurality of subsets of the input area of the touch-based user input device, wherein a quantity of subsets included in the plurality of subsets corresponds to a quantity of display devices included in a set of display devices; and
initiate display of a graphical representation associated with the user input at a display device of the set of display devices having a display device aspect ratio different than the user input device aspect ratio, wherein the display device aspect ratio corresponds to the aspect ratio associated with the subset of the input area.
