Implementing Intel Unite

Intel released Unite as a replacement for its recently discontinued WiDi technology, as a way for multiple people to wirelessly project at the same time.  The technology takes a big step from the days of just one person sharing your screen, allowing 4 people to project at once, with annotation capabilities and plugin support.  Users don’t need to be in the same room or same network, allowing people across the world to join in and collaborate.  And this is all done with free software and a compatible computer in the conference room as a hub.
