Traditionally USB devices needed to be plugged directly into your computer to be
used. With VirtualHere this is no longer required, the network itself becomes
the cable transmitting USB signals (also known as USB over IP, USB/IP, USB over
WiFi, USB over Ethernet, USB Device Server).
This USB server solution is perfect for allowing USB devices to be used remotely
over a LAN network, over the Internet, or in the Cloud without the USB device
needing to be physically attached to remote client machine. The USB device
appears as if it was directly attached even though it is plugged in to a remote
server, therefore all existing drivers and software work, no special changes
required.
