Connect iPad to a touch screen monitor

I have 52" touch screen display and would like to connect my iPad to this display via VGA and still have the touchscreen monitor function both on the iPad and the 53". Ideas? I have the iPad 2 so with a VGA connection all my iPad screens project out but I would like to touch the screen and have the iPad be operable as well.

The iPad does not have the capability to use an external touchscreen other than for display purposes.

Jailbroken discussion is not allowed here. It is very unlikely an enterprise app could be able to do this.


I would think that a touchscreen needs connection via USB as well as VGA. Since the VGA adapter connects to the dock port you cannot use any other type of connection with it. Even so, it would require some way of accepting external pointing capability which is not in iOS.
