This is a free, web-based tool by MIT that links multiple smartphones or tablets into a large display. Once installed on all the devices, you need to place the screens next to each other (in any alignment), ‘pinch’ the screens together and it will link them to work as a single large display.If you feel you have to try this for yourself, you can connect multiple devices using their native web browsers and something called the Junkyard Jumbotron. Instead of being a hardware connector, Pinch is an interface that needs to be installed on all devices and it works over WiFi. A similar concept developed by the Tokyo University of Technology is called Pinch.

The company behind the technology claims that the device will be able to transfer data and power quickly from one connected device to another without using any cords. An upcoming technology called the Nanoport Magnetic Connector keeps your devices stuck together to form a single giant display. While there is no ready solution available for purchase right now, there are three ongoing projects which deliver this kind of functionality. The same concept can be applied to smartphones and tablets. You might have seen multiple televisions/monitors linked together to make one giant display at events or shopping malls. 2 / 6 Link phones together to make a large display
