1. A collaboration system, including processors and a memory, comprising:
a first display and a first display computer, the first display computer to receive a first mobile device data stream from a first mobile device of at least two mobile devices over a wireless access protocol and a second mobile device data stream from a second mobile device of the at least two mobile devices over a wireless access protocol, the first display computer to request the first mobile device data stream of a first predetermined resolution to the first mobile device of the at least two mobile devices and the second mobile device data stream of a second predetermined resolution to the second mobile device of the at least two mobile devices, the first display computer to output a first display data stream over a network, the first display data stream combining the first and second mobile device data streams from the at least two mobile devices;
a second display and a second display computer, the second display computer to receive a third mobile device data stream from a third mobile device of the at least two mobile devices, different from the first and second mobile devices, over the wireless access protocol, and a fourth mobile device data stream from a fourth mobile device of the at least two mobile devices over the wireless access protocol
the second display computer to request a data stream of a third predetermined resolution to the third mobile device of the at least two mobile devices,
and the fourth mobile device data stream of a fourth predetermined resolution to the fourth mobile device of the at least two mobile devices,
the second display computer to output a second display data stream over a network, the second data stream combining the third and fourth mobile device data streams from the at least two mobile devices; a third display and a third display computer running a virtual canvas larger than a display region of the third display; and circuitry configured to receive the first and second display data streams from the network, combine the first and second display data streams into a single data stream, and send the single data stream to a server, separate from the collaboration system, to the virtual canvas on the third display computer and to display the first and second display data streams in first and second editable display windows, respectively, on condition that the first and second editable display windows on the virtual canvas are in the display region of the third display, on the third display, and on condition that one of the first and second editable display windows on the virtual canvas is not in the display region of the third display, the third display computer is to request a corresponding one of the first and second display computers to down sample a corresponding one of the first and second display data streams to the circuitry.
