MultiHead is a common name for using multiple monitors (heads) at the same time. This can be multiple heads on one videocard, multiple videocards in one computer or even 'distributed' multihead covering multiple computers. Also known as DualHead when there are exactly two heads.

XFree86 supports different types of MultiHead, see using multiple monitors with XFree86.

Example implementation of distributed MultiHead is DMX and something similar but then with 3d/openGL graphics is Chromium
