This was presented in the case. Apple argued it didn't represent prior art because:
1. The screen was a projector and therefor this showed two devices. (Capacitive CRTs have excited since the 80s)
2. Samsung didn't present the code for this implementation in time, so it could not be proved that this was either object oriented or event-based.
So Apple's non-obvious extension of prior art was to 1. do this exact thing on a non-projector device, 2. use event-based code.
