I want to mirror the screen of my Android phone (HTC Sensation) on my laptop wirelessly.
Google Chromecast looks like a good solution to this - how would I set up an ad-hoc network so that I can view my phone's display on my laptop without a router? (I don't need internet connection)
Additionally, my laptop only has an HDMI out and not an HDMI in - can I plug the chromecast to my laptop via USB.
I found this tutorial but I'm not sure if its what I want:

I don't own a chromecast so can't test this.
Can anybody help me with this?
