Headless Ghost

Headless Ghost is a tiny display emulator that plugs into a computer's video port, tricking the operating system into activating the GPU—even when no monitor is connected. This unlocks high-resolution remote desktop access and GPU-accelerated tasks that would otherwise be unavailable.

Whatever Together designed and developed Headless Ghost from scratch, taking the product from early prototype through full production and retail distribution. The Kickstarter campaign was selected as Staff Pick and reached 300% funding. International retailer OWC now sells the product worldwide, and Whatever Together has since built custom versions of the technology for Intel and Duet Display.
