Note: This repository is a work in progress.
This Java project is a tool that allows you to remotely access another machine.
- Serverless - instead it's peer-to-peer
- Connecting to a computer using a unique identifier (IP address and port is masked)
The goal of the project is to recreate a Teamviewer or AnyDesk type-clone and open-source it.
An optimized rendering mechanism. The way the project is being designed is that frames are captured and encoded into the TIFF image format and then compressed using LZW.
The initial screenshot is then split into segments. There on, any changes that occur within a segment, only those changes are sent to the client. This achieves really low latency. Transmission by happens at 30fps. There isn't an improvement in quality or performance by lowering/increasing this.
Keyboard and mouse inputs work. Pretty well and actions scale to the relative positions. There is a bug when using a second screen, if the second screen is shared then the relative mouse positions are currently not taken into calculations.
There is a visual yellow border around the screen being captured. This border does not get transmitted over the stream.
There is a base implementation for transferring files from one computer to another.
Everyone interested in the project is welcome to contribute. Just pull the code and create a PR with your changes. Ensure to include some good details on what your PR is.
