Interface study

A second display that feels deliberate

Connection USB Mode stable low-latency path

2560 × 1600 60 FPS 12 Mbps

01 Set the stream shape

Resolution, FPS, bitrate, encoder, and display mode live where you expect them.

02 Start cleanly

The desktop app handles the Linux side while Android becomes the live canvas.

03 Draw when needed

Stylus mode is ready for serious tablet axes without muddying the normal touch path.

Showcase

Tablet as a true Linux workspace

Virtual display, real workflow

Extend your Linux session onto an Android tablet with a focused desktop app, matching resolution controls, and compositor-aware display setup.

Stylus-first input

Optional uinput stylus mode exposes pressure, tilt, eraser, hover, and buttons for creative apps that expect a real tablet device.

Low-friction modes

USB for the steady path. Wi-Fi for cable-free desk layouts. Both keep the same product surface and settings rhythm.

Designed for a desk setup

Minimal surfaces, legible controls, and motion that points to the product instead of shouting over it.

Built like a desktop tool

Calm, fast, and inspectable

01 Linux-native streaming stack PipeWire, GStreamer, compositor-aware display handling

02 Modern input backends libei compatibility path, uinput tablet path, Hyprland mapping

03 Future 3D showcase ready WebGPU scene shell with model slots prepared for later assets

04 Desktop-specific behavior KDE, GNOME, and Hyprland paths stay explicit instead of hiding magic

Modes

Choose the path that fits the desk

USB

Lowest latency

Best for drawing, focused work, and stable cable-first setups.

Wi-Fi

Flexible placement

Made for cable-free layouts and higher-bitrate experiments.

Stylus

Creative control

Pressure, tilt, hover, eraser, and buttons through a real tablet path.

Desktop Capture

GStreamer Encode

Android Display + Input

3D-ready

A stage for the real product assets later

The site already keeps model metadata in a manifest and renders through one canvas. When you add tablet or monitor models, the surrounding design can stay intact.
