Real-Time Control Software
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
Project Briefing: Multi-Laptop Control Software for Display Systems
Project Overview:
We are seeking to develop a software solution that enables a single admin laptop to control and synchronize the mouse and keyboard inputs across a network of 2 to 500 laptops. This software will primarily be used for displays involving many screens in a public place, requiring real-time interaction and synchronization.
Key Features:
Scalability: The software should be capable of working efficiently with a varying number of laptops, ranging from as few as 2 to as many as 500.
Real-Time Control: The admin laptop should be able to control all other laptops in real time. This includes moving the mouse pointer, opening files, and executing keyboard commands.
Synchronized Interaction:
If the admin navigates to and opens a file (e.g., a PDF) on their laptop, the same action should occur simultaneously on all connected laptops, given that the same file exists in a predetermined path on each laptop.
Similarly, closing a file or application on the admin laptop should result in the same action on all other laptops.
Network Efficiency: The software must be optimized for network efficiency to minimize latency, ensuring that all actions are as close to real-time as possible.
Ease of Installation and Setup: The software should be easy to install and set up on all laptops, with a straightforward method for connecting each laptop to the admin control.
Customizable Settings: The software should offer customization options for different scenarios or numbers of laptops.
User Interface: The admin interface should be intuitive and user-friendly, allowing easy control and monitoring of all connected laptops.
Compatibility: The software should be compatible with commonly used operating systems in laptops.
Potential Challenges:
Ensuring synchronization across all laptops, particularly when dealing with a large number.
Managing network load and latency, especially in scenarios involving a high number of laptops.
Developing a user interface that is both powerful and easy to use for non-technical administrators.
Intended Use:
This software will be used for large-scale digital displays in public spaces, where simultaneous and synchronized action on multiple screens is essential.
