I used a collection of laptops and software I wrote myself. The laptops chatted over the Adhoc Wifi connections to keep it all in sync and each laptop would display the image or video on demand via the custom software I wrote.

I can't share the software, but can tell you that with today's laptops, adhoc wifi, VB6 and such it came together in one week.

First it depends on your laptop, does it have a video out and will it drive the video out and the vga out at the same time? John
