Hi friendly Hexus people.
A few ideas going through my head recently. One of them was: Is it possible to have a wireless display for your computer?
My HTPC is connected to a 720p projector. I currently use a wireless keyboard to control the PC. However, I think it would be quite cool to have a duplicate display of what's on the large display "in my hands". So I'd need another monitor.
I'd like the monitor to be touch screen because, basically, touch is cool. I've already seen Origen AE's T12, which I like (even though it's VGA not DVI/HDMI or better still DisplayPort).
Trouble with this monitor is I'd need to have the HTPC near where I am so the T12's "umbilical" cable could reach, and not trail across the floor. I also can't ascertain whether the "dock" is removable or not. It wouldn't be particularly ergonomic, if it was permanently stuck to the monitor.
Even better, in my view, would be a monitor between 7 and 12 inches that had touch and was wireless (preferably with a charging dock).
I can't find one, however.
It makes sense that something like this will materialise with the advent of Wireless USB. I just can't see if it exists - yet.
Several "slates" (including Apple's iPad) are flooding the markets - they don't seem to have the functionality to serve as an additional monitor, though. (Or do they!?)
MaxiVista can enable another computer to emulate the functionality of a duplicated monitor through software. I'd consider using my aging HP TC1100, but touch drivers don't work in MaxiVista. The software also disables DXVA and (therefore) Aero, both of which I'd ideally like to keep.
Can you help?
[PS: I hope this is reasonably clear. I can use further posts to clarify if needed.]

) I managed to set up controlling the laptop via the free AndroidVNC viewer from my HTC Magic. Worked perfectly, and the pan / zoom / mouse control of the viewer is pretty intuitive. Now I just need to play a bit more and see if I can get it working for Win 7 so I can control my HTPC with it
