In an embodiment, a control device registers proximate client devices to a coordinated display group and obtains display capability information for each registered client device. The control device determines to initiate a coordinated display session for outputting visual data via the coordinated display group. The registered proximate client devices execute a synchronization procedure to obtain synchronization information by which the master application can derive current relative orientation and position data for each registered proximate client device. The control devices maps a different portion of the visual data to respective display screens of the registered proximate client devices based on the display capability information and synchronization information. The control device delivers the mapped portions of the visual data to the registered proximate client devices for presentation thereon.
