iDistantView allows you to control remotely your PC or your Mac. Your computer screen is displaying on your iOS device and you can control the mouse cursor and use the virtual keyboard of your iPhone or iPad.
The difference with traditional remote access tools is that you can choose to view the entire screen or display only the window you want to see. Very handy if you want to focalize on one application in particular like TextEdit, Word, Safari or Vlc by example !
Furthermore it is possible to play the sound from your computer (note that on Mac OS X, the external program Soundflower will be necessary).
Even if iDistantView is made primarily for a local WIFI connection, it is possible to connect remotely over the Web by remapping the network ports to use (note that you will need to configure your Adsl box consequently by forwarding the ports to your computer. Sound is not supported in this configuration).
You will need to download and install iDistantView Server on your computer for iDistantView to work (http://www.idistantview.com/)
