1. A system comprising, comprising:
a processor; and
a storage device electrically coupled to the processor, the storage device storing executable instructions, which when executed by the processor enable the processor to implement acts including:
determining that a master agent and a consumer agent are both in a stable position based on motion sensor measurements of the master agent and the consumer agent;
determining a first tap point on the master agent that is proximate to the consumer agent based on one or more of a first motion sensor measurement or a first audio sensor measurement of the master agent;
determining a second tap point on the consumer agent that is proximate to the master agent based on one or more of a second motion sensor measurement or a second audio sensor measurement of the consumer agent;
receiving at the master agent an announcement from the consumer agent indicating the presence of the consumer agent, the announcement including a display parameters for a display of the consumer agent, the display parameter including orientation of the display of the consumer agent with respect to a display of the master agent;
receiving at the master agent a content parameter from a producer agent, the content parameter including a characteristic of a content to be displayed by the consumer agent;
configuring a mosaic screen based on the received announcement and the content parameter, the configuring including generating a content distribution parameter based on the content parameter and the display parameter of the consumer agent; and
providing the generated content distribution parameter to the consumer agent.
