is there a ubuntu to android screen share tool?
I do a lot of face to face software demos, and I want to show the customer a tablet and screen share my desktop, it's way less awkward than having them sit next to me. Is there an airplay equivalent for Ubuntu where I can share my screen with a vanilla Android tablet?

Sounds like it would be easier to just run an android emulator...

It's relatively easy to do. Just enable remote desktop sharing on your Ubuntu computer, and then use a vnc client on the android tablet.
So for example, on the kde desktop, use krfb. I think on gnome you use remote desktop sharing from system settings.
Any vnc client on android should work.
Don't forget to allow the incoming connection through your linux firewall.
I would not recommend this for internet access though, only on a local network.
