Abstract
Embodiments relate to a method for synchronizing media playback across multiple computing devices on a network. Multiple display screens, each coupled to a computing device, can be arranged in a circular formation surrounding a user. For example, a special enclosure for the display screens may be constructed for this purpose. An immersive viewing experience is created for the user by synchronizing the views displayed on each screen. The multiple screens operate in unison to create a tiled view of a three-dimensional environment. This immersive experience can be referred to as a 'Liquid Galaxy.' The experience is enhanced by allowing the user to view and navigate through such three-dimensional environments using an input device, such as, for example, a joystick or game controller.
