Abstract

Embodiments described herein includes a system comprising a processor coupled to display devices, sensors, remote client devices, and computer applications. The computer applications orchestrate content of the remote client devices simultaneously across the display devices and the remote client devices, and allow simultaneous control of the display devices. The simultaneous control includes automatically detecting a gesture of at least one object from gesture data received via the sensors. The detecting comprises identifying the gesture using only the gesture data. The computer applications translate the gesture to a gesture signal, and control the display devices in response to the gesture signal.

Claims (4)

1. A system comprising:

a processor coupled to a plurality of display devices and a plurality of sensors;

a plurality of remote client devices coupled to the processor, wherein each remote client device of the plurality of remote client devices includes an element of a session workflow; and

a plurality of applications coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to integrate pixels of the element of each of the plurality of remote client devices into a session workflow rendered on the plurality of display devices, wherein the processor is configured as a collaborative interface of the plurality of remote client devices, wherein any remote client device of the plurality of remote client devices can interact directly with applications running on any other remote client device of the plurality of remote client devices to control the element of each of the plurality of remote client devices.
