Claim 18:
19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
cause an ultrasonic transmitter located within a housing of an apparatus to generate an omnidirectional ultrasonic wave responsive to receipt of one or more input signals, the apparatus having a) a display system with at least one display and a plurality of ultrasonically sensitive display surfaces, at least two of which are non-coplanar and each of which is associated with a different plurality of display pixels, and b) a plurality of ultrasonic sensor pixels, wherein each ultrasonic sensor pixel is associated with a different one of the ultrasonically sensitive display surfaces and the ultrasonic transmitter is not coextensive with the ultrasonically sensitive display surfaces; and
cause ultrasonic sensor signals to be obtained from a subset of the ultrasonic sensor pixels associated with at least one of the ultrasonically sensitive display surfaces.
