The author takes us on a three-year-long journey of transforming old Chromebook laptops into a remarkable video wall. The project began with the idea of repurposing the school’s outdated laptops, which were considered junk, into something innovative. Through trial and error, the author and a friend managed to synchronize video playback across multiple screens using a web-based solution. By overcoming various technical challenges, such as replacing the ChromeOS with a Linux distro and creating a system to manage the video wall, they successfully created a unique display. Despite imperfections, the project symbolizes teamwork, creativity, and turning e-waste into something exceptional.
