Wall
An interactive display built on web technology.
We use it as jukebox device in our kitchen. People can push content (youtube-videos, urls, etc) to the display with their mobile devices or control the MPD (http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Music_Player_Daemon_Wiki) on the device.
It consist of a python server (built upon tornado) that talks to the display, a browser in fullscreen/kiosk mode, and the clients (browser on your mobile), via websockets.
