A conceptual future for the multi-device web
summary
Live demos prove multi-device interaction by sharing real capabilities: pjs (WebRTC) for low-latency peer channels, binaryjs over WebSocket to stream photos from phone camera to projector, and pubnub for presence and slide sync. A room-scale prototype stitches 196 connected devices into one virtual canvas, slices an image across screens, accepts touch gestures that translate between device transforms, and runs a Pictionary-style game; WebRTC shows noticeably smoother proximity updates than WebSocket and long polling can match WebSocket for infrequent changes.
