It's so easy to improve your efficiency with this convenient tool. Enjoy the amazing experience on any screen, on any device, anywhere! [Screen Mirror] Mirror your phone’s screen on your PC so you can use your PC's keyboard and mouse to navigate and input text instead of relying your phone's small screen virtual keyboard. Not only will your productivity improve significantly, you will also have a richer and less constrained visual experience. [Screen Extend] Use your phone or tablet as a secondary display on-the-go for dual-display convenience. This feature expands your space and can be exceptionally useful when you need to cross-reference multiple documents or visuals. Multitasking has never been easier. [Unify Control] Unify Control lets you control different devices and transfer files from one PC with a single mouse and keyboard, across different OSes, so you don’t need to switch between devices. * Support Wi-Fi and/or USB to connect mobile devices to the PC. * GlideX mobile app must be used together with GlideX for Windows (Win 10/11) [File Transfer] Simply drag and drop to send files to other PCs or mobile devices in the blink of an eye. It is many times faster than the traditional Bluetooth file transfer, with a user-friendly drag and drop experience to ensure seamless transfer among devices. [Shared Cam] Turn your mobile device camera into a webcam. Simply select “GlideX – Shared Cam” as the video source in your PC video conference app, then you can easily enjoy seamless webcam sharing. [Hands-Free Phone Calls] Make and take phone calls, which can be routed through your PC’s speakers and microphone. You can also access your phone’s contacts on your PC, so you can search for contacts and call them directly. There's no need to dig out your phone from your bag or pocket! [Remote Access] Use your mobile device to remotely access files stored on your ASUS PC and use your PC as a personal cloud replacement, which can be accessed from your mobile device, anywhere and anytime. Remote Access, including Remote File Access and Remote Desktop, can be extra beneficial for commercial users who need access to office files when on business trips or working from home. * Remote Desktop is not supported on Windows 10 Home edition.
