This activity helps you project your XO screen on a projector via a regular computer. It will automatically launch a VNC server (X11vnc) and display the XO's IP address. You can then connect and view the XO's screen using any VNC client (e.g. UltraVNC Viewer, RealVNC, etc) running on a regular computer.

The XO (now acting as a VNC server) and the client (computer running a VNC client) must be able to communicate using their IP addresses. This often means both sides should be on the same local network.

VNC Launcher was built on top of the Terminal activity and was developed by Arnan (Roger) Sipitakiat ( arnans at gmail.com) and Rinda Chokate (rindar at gmail.com)
