Networking multiple "smart" displays together is an affordable way of creating large high-resolution display systems. In this work I propose a new structure and data distribution paradigm for displays of this nature. I model my work on the peer-to-peer style of content distribution, as opposed to the traditional client-server model for this kind of system. In taking a peer-to-peer approach, I present a low-cost and scalable system without the inherent constraints imposed by the client-server model. I present a new class of applications specifically designed for this peer-to-peer style of display system, and provide an easy-to-use framework for developers to use in creating this type of system. / Graduate / 0984
