1. A method of displaying 3D content on a first display component and a second display component utilizing a host server, the method comprising:

  • obtaining, at the host server, first physical position data of the first display component indicating a relative position to the host server and second physical position data of the second display component indicating a relative position to the host server;

    executing a multiple-display rendering engine on the host server for spatially-correlating multiple displays, the engine containing virtual cameras for determining specific rendering perspectives into a virtual world provided by the first display component and the second display component, thereby creating a first set of rendered data and a second set of rendered data;

    receiving virtual world coordinates; and

    transmitting the first set of rendered data to the first display component and the second set of rendered data to the second display component;

    wherein the first set of rendered data is displayed on the first display component and the second set of rendered data is displayed on the second display component; and

    wherein the first display component and the second display component enable a spatially correlated rendering of the 3D content and provide an extended field-of-view for a user viewing the 3D content using both the first and second display components.
