Wireless Display (WiDi) is a technology developed by Intel that enabled users to stream music, movies, photos, videos and apps without wires from a compatible computer to a compatible HDTV or through the use of an adapter with other HDTVs or monitors. Intel WiDi supported HD 1080p video quality, 5.1 surround sound, and low latency for interacting with applications sent to the TV from a PC.

Using the Intel WiDi Widget users could perform different functions simultaneously on their PC and TV such as checking email on the PC while streaming a movie to the TV from the same device.[4][5]

WiDi was superseded by Miracast,[6] a standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance[7]

Version history

Miracast

In Intel Wireless Display version 3.5, the Miracast standard was supported[17] on two operating systems, Microsoft Windows 8.1 and 10.[18] After this development, Intel recommended Business Users to utilize Intel® Unite™ as a platform for collaboration.[18] Miracast is included in all Android 4.2+ smart phones. It can stream on TVs, projectors, and media players.[19]
