Description

Provides access to a display / screen for rendering operations.

using UnityEngine;
public class Example : MonoBehaviour
{
    Camera extCam;
    Camera cam;
    void Start()
    {
        // GUI is rendered with last camera.
        // As we want it to end up in the main screen, make sure main camera is the last one drawn.
        extCam.depth = cam.depth - 1;
        cam.SetTargetBuffers(Display.main.colorBuffer, Display.main.depthBuffer);
        extCam.enabled = false;
    }
    void Update()
    {
        if (Display.displays.Length > 1 && !extCam.enabled)
