a first display slidably coupled to the support, wherein the first display is configured to display output information received from at least one computing device; a second display rotatably coupled to the first display and rotatably coupled to the support, wherein the second display is configured to display output information received from the at least one computing device; and a linkage bar rotatably coupled to the support at a first hinge and rotatably coupled to the second display at a second hinge. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The display system of claim 1, wherein the linkage bar is configured to rotate about the first hinge responsive to the first display sliding along the support. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The display system of claim 2, wherein the linkage bar is configured to rotate about the second hinge responsive to the first display sliding along the support. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The display system of claim 1, wherein the linkage bar is configured to rotate about the second hinge responsive to the first display sliding along the support. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The display system of claim 1, wherein the second display is rotatably coupled to the support via the second hinge. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The display system of claim 1, further comprising a base coupled to the support. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The display system of claim 6, wherein the support is rotatably coupled to the base via a third hinge. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The display system of claim 7, wherein the first display is slidably coupled to the support via a sliding coupler. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The display system of claim 8, wherein the sliding coupler is configured to exert a force on a release mechanism to enable the support to rotate about the base. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The display system of claim 8, wherein the sliding coupler is configured to release a catch mechanism to enable the support to rotate about the base. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The display system of claim 1, wherein the linkage bar exerts a moment on the second display to prevent the second display from rotating about the first display. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The display system of claim 1, further comprising a catch mechanism configured to prevent rotation of the support. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The display system of claim 12, further comprising a release mechanism to release the catch mechanism. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The display system of claim 13, further comprising a sliding coupler coupled to the first display and slidably coupled to the support. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The display system of claim 14, wherein the sliding coupler is configured to exert a force on the release mechanism to release the catch mechanism. ### Claim 16 A method of facilitating use of a display system, the method comprising: providing a display system including a support, a first display coupled to the support, wherein the first display is configured to display output information received from at least one computing device, a second display rotatably coupled to the first display and rotatably coupled to the support, wherein the second display is configured to display output information received from the at least one computing device, and a linkage bar rotatably coupled to the support at a first hinge and rotatably coupled to the second display at a second hinge, and instructing a user of the display system to slide the first display along the support, wherein the second display is configured to rotate about the first display responsive to the first display being slid along the support. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16, further comprising instructing the user to rotate the second display about the first display. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16, wherein the display system includes a base coupled to the support, the method further comprising instructing the user to rotate the support about the base. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The method of claim 18, wherein instructing the user to rotate the support about the base includes instructing the user to slide the first display down the support towards the base. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The method of claim 19, wherein instructing the user to rotate the support about the base includes instructing the user to slide the first display to a lowest position along the support. ### Claim 21 (depends on 6) The display system of claim 6, wherein the support is substantially straight and extends from the base along a longitudinal axis perpendicular to the base, and wherein the first display is configured to slide along the longitudinal axis between a first terminal position along the longitudinal axis and a second terminal position along the longitudinal axis. ### Claim 22 (depends on 6) The display system of claim 6, wherein the base is rotatably coupled to the support through a rotating plate. ### Claim 23 (depends on 22) The display system of claim 22, wherein the first hinge is configured to rotate about a first axis and the rotating plate is configured to rotate about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. ### Claim 24 A display system comprising: a support; a first display slidably coupled to the support, wherein the first display is configured to display output information received from at least one computing device; a second display rotatably coupled to the first display and rotatably coupled to the support, wherein the second display is configured to display output information received from the at least one computing device; and a linkage system comprising a plurality of hinges and being coupled to the support and to the second display, the linkage system being configured to cause the second display to rotate relative to the first display and the support responsive to the first display being slid along the support.
