1. A method comprising:
at a computing system including non-transitory memory and one or more processors, wherein the computing system is communicatively coupled to a display device and one or more input devices:
presenting, via the display device, an indication of a private viewing region relative to a location of the computing system;
presenting, via the display device, graphical content at a first location;
transmitting first data associated with the graphical content to at least one other device for display thereon according to a determination that the first location of the graphical content is outside of the private viewing region;
transmitting second data associated with the graphical content to the at least one other device for obfuscated display thereon according to a determination that the first location of the graphical content is inside of the private viewing region
detecting one or more user inputs, via the one or more input devices, associated with translating the graphical content from the first location to a second location; and
in response to detecting the one or more user inputs:
transmitting third data associated with the graphical content to the at least one other device for display thereon according to a determination that the second location of the graphical content is outside of the private viewing region; and
transmitting fourth data associated with the graphical content to the at least one other device for obfuscated display thereon according to a determination that the second location of the graphical content is inside of the private viewing region.
