I had dual-screens before I got to college- an extra Matrox Millenium II stuffed into my computer, another 19" crt. I built a projector out of an LCD display & would have some friends playing PS2 on that via video-input, while others would hang out on the main computer & surf or play games. It felt like ubiquotous computing was going to spread & spread. I always wanted to follow up, to have more and more input & output attached to a computer, more simultaenous users, but my social world got less active, less hang out & chill in a basement with a bunch of people. Alas!
Anyhow, I remember being jazzed beyond belief for Peter Hutterer pushing Multi-Pointer-X. This was going to be the pinnacle of computing. I wanted so much to play here. Still haven't done anything in this realm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-Pointer_X https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-Pointer_X
I still think buying a 4K (or more!) 65" display or whatever & having two or three people do parallel play- do their own thing, but on a shared desktop- and occasioally use the shared real estate to share/bounce ideas, pair- I still think that'd be the bee's knees.
