Multiple display configuration technique

A computer program product for configuring multiple displays connected to a common computing system, the computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having computer-usable program code embodied therein, the computer-usable program code configured to perform the following when executed by at least one processor:

• detect, by a computing system, a plurality of displays connected thereto;
• cause, by the computing system, at least one of the plurality of displays to emit a lighting pattern;
• detect, by the computing system, the lighting pattern using at least one camera connected to the computing system;
• and
• infer, by the computing system, a physical arrangement of the plurality of displays from the detected lighting pattern.

A system for configuring multiple displays connected to a common computing system, the system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• at least one memory device operably coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions for execution on the at least one processor, the instructions causing the at least one processor to:
• detect, by a computing system, a plurality of displays connected thereto;
• cause, by the computing system, at least one of the plurality of displays to emit a lighting pattern;
• detect, by the computing system, the lighting pattern using at least one camera connected to the computing system;
• and
• infer, by the computing system, a physical arrangement of the plurality of displays from the detected lighting pattern.
