Step 1: Allow iOS apps to use AirPlay to create a separate display from an iOS device.

Step 2: Allow Macs to use AirPlay to create a separate display from a Mac.

Step 3: “We have this nice beatific light display call the iPad and we already have the capability of low latency AirPlay”.....

Is that not obviously the next step?

It wasn’t to me. Was it to you? Even if it was, how would you prove such a thing?

iPad -> AirPlay -> AppleTV -> TV

iPad -> AirPlay -> 5KPlayerr -> Windows

Mac -> AirPlay -> AppleTV -> TV

Mac -> iDisplay (2010) -> iPad (https://gizmodo.com/review-idisplay-turns-your-ipad-into-a-s...)

Seeing that every combination between iPad/Windows/Mac/Airplay has been done for between 6-8 years. Why isn’t this obvious?

There was also a way you could hack around with VNC to do it early on.
