Bigscreen

Bigscreen is a term used to refer to large-format display systems designed for viewing content by many people, including cinema screens, projection setups, and LED video walls. Such displays are used in theaters, conference venues, and home theaters for immersive or collaborative viewing experiences. The phrase “big screen” is common in consumer electronics and audiovisual discussions, where size, brightness, and resolution are central considerations.

Bigscreen is also the name of a software platform that enables collaborative screen sharing inside virtual reality. In this context, users join virtual rooms and can share their computer screen, stream movies or games, and communicate via voice chat. The platform aims to recreate a shared viewing or working environment by rendering participants within a common virtual space, often for social viewing parties or remote collaboration.

Typical features of the Bigscreen software include room customization and layouts, the ability to watch videos or play games with others, support for multiple head-mounted displays, and streaming of a host computer’s screen to participants in the virtual room. The service also addresses practical considerations such as latency, privacy, and copyright compliance when streaming content.

The Bigscreen platform is part of a broader trend toward remote collaboration and social virtual reality, expanding access to group viewing and meeting experiences beyond physical co-location. It intersects with cinema, gaming, and productivity use cases by blending large-screen concepts with interactive, shared digital spaces.
