A link to try this yourself: https://bgstaal.github.io/multipleWindow3dScene The popular version by the same author with the very fancy graphics: https://twitter.com/_nonfigurativ_/status/172732259457002734... (Code is not public, this demo sparked the whole thing) The other project like this on HN the other day used Broadcast Channels instead of localStorage, so it didn't have the delay this one has: GitHub (has a GIF): https://github.com/Momciloo/fun-with-sockets/ HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38413660

Two browser windows (acting as socket clients) communicate their: - Screen dimensions - (screen.width, screen.height) - Window dimensions - (window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight) - Window X/Y position - (window.screenX, window.screenY) ...or whichever calculation works best for you.

Here's a demo of how it works and the codebase: https://github.com/Momciloo/fun-with-sockets/
