Smart Display (codename Mira) is a line of wireless touchscreen monitors that Microsoft introduced in the early 2000s. It was an early screencasting attempt that received a Windows XP PC's screen over Wi-Fi so the PC could be operated remotely from anywhere in the house, but it was shunned because of its high price and limitations such as allowing only one person to use the PC at a time, and it was soon discontinued. This page also collects a list of related screen-casting technologies such as Miracast and AirPlay.
