Windows Phone 390 Published by

A team has successfully connected 144 smartphones running Windows Phone together to form one large screen. The achievement is reportedly a new record for linking smartphone screens together.



From Neowin:
A group of Windows Phone devices formed part of a pretty remarkable achievement in what is being called a new world record. A new YouTube video (via WMPoweruser.com) shows off the team's efforts to link a whopping 144 smartphones running on Microsoft's mobile OS together to form one large video screen. The project was launched at the recent TechDays 2012 event in Helsinki, Finland.

In basic terms, a video file is sent via WiFi to all of the smartphones in the group. A separate Windows Phone device sends out the video and WiFi signal to the 144 devices placed in the video wall; the host phone acts like a server for the entire wall.
