许多计算机操作系统提供对多个显示屏幕的无缝支持，但是在共享显示环境中协作使用多台计算机的跨平台工具很少。Mighty Mouse是一种基于公共域VNC协议的新型群件工具。它是专门为面对面协作量身定制的，在这种协作中，在各种操作系统下的各种应用程序上一起工作的人们同时（通常通过投影仪）查看多台异构计算机（通常是笔记本电脑）。Mighty Mouse仅使用VNC的远程输入功能，但通过各种功能增强了这一点，以支持各种平台之间的灵活移动，“地板控制”以促进顺利协作，以及自定义功能，以相对无缝的方式适应不同的用户，平台和应用程序偏好。设计原理源于对人们如何在会议中协作的具体观察，这允许在实现中做出某些简化的假设。
Many computer operating systems provide seamless support for multiple display screens, but there are few cross-platform tools for collaborative use of multiple computers in a shared display environment. Mighty Mouse is a novel groupware tool built on the public domain VNC protocol. It is tailored specifically for face-to-face collaboration where multiple heterogeneous computers (usually laptops) are viewed simultaneously (usually via projectors) by people working together on a variety of applications under various operating systems. Mighty Mouse uses only the remote input capability of VNC, but enhances this with various features to support flexible movement between the various platforms, "floor control" to facilitate smooth collaboration, and customization features to accommodate different user, platform, and application preferences in a relatively seamless manner. The design rationale arises from specific observations about how people collaborate in meetings, which allows certain simplifying assumptions to be made in the implementation.
