Abstract: A mobile electronic device (MD) operates with an arrangement of MDs to provide a virtual playout screen for visual media. A movement sensor senses movement of the MD. Processor operations include generating a movement vector identifying direction and distance that the MD has been moved from a reference location to a playout location where it will form a component of the virtual playout screen, based on tracking movement indicated by the movement sensor while being moved. The operations provide the movement vector to a media splitting module that determines how to split the visual media into a set of cropped portions for display on assigned ones of the MDs based on the movement vector. The operations obtain a cropped portion of the visual media that has been assigned by the media splitting module to the MD, and display the cropped portion of the visual media on a display device.
