ShatterOS

Open one room on several devices and use each screen as a window into one continuous physics world.

Prototype

Runs locally on Node. You calibrate by measuring your screens.

The problem or experience

Choreographed multi-screen illusions need special software. ShatterOS lets any phones and laptops on your Wi-Fi act as one canvas.

Who it's for

People with a few spare screens and a ruler.

My contribution

It is my project: a Node server with a room code, calibration step and a physics playground.

What works today

  • Join the same room on several devices, calibrate with a ruler and arrange the screens on a desk map, per the README.

Limitations

  • I haven't run it.
  • You need devices on the same network.

Evidence

How you can get involved

Got spare screens?

  • Try it with a couple of devices and tell me where the calibration confuses you.
