Shared Input Layer
A single keyboard and mouse can drive multiple systems without switching hardware every time the user crosses to another host.
Distributed input and screen navigation
A technical project for sharing keyboard, mouse, and screen navigation across devices
EtherWaver is a distributed input and screen navigation system designed for modern multi-device environments. It helps users move seamlessly between computers, monitors, and workspaces with a single keyboard and mouse.
System Diagram
Keyboard and mouse input routed through a distributed EtherWaver topology
The project is structured like an infrastructure tool: one control path, multiple client hosts, and clear boundaries between input routing, screen layout, and network communication.
EtherWaver Core
The central routing layer coordinates cursor movement, host transitions, and layout-aware screen boundaries.
Distributed Clients
Clients can represent desktops, laptops, or other devices participating in one distributed workspace.
Roadmap
A staged plan from core navigation to broader distributed interfaces
EtherWaver is intended to grow as a technical platform, not just a placeholder utility site.
Phase 1
Core multi-screen navigation
Reliable host-to-host cursor traversal, input forwarding, and layout-aware screen edges.
Phase 2
Device discovery
Discovery workflows, easier onboarding, and improved distributed workspace awareness.
Phase 3
XR and spatial interfaces
Longer-term exploration of spatial layouts, XR workflows, and next-generation interaction models.
