Overview of remote USB connectivity with VirtualHere Client

The client is cross-platform and interoperates with VirtualHere USB Servers running on other machines, making it practical in mixed-OS environments.

These examples cover the common scenarios; many other USB device classes are supported depending on server configuration.
How the interface works
VirtualHere automatically finds USB devices that servers have shared on the local network. Detected devices are presented in a hierarchical tree view; you enable a device for local use with a simple context (right-click) command. The design minimizes configuration steps so users spend less time troubleshooting connectivity.
