Remotely work on computers with specialized hardware to create and edit videos, animations, models, designs, VFX, graphics in real-time

Use personal devices like Chromebooks and iPads to leverage the processing and computing power of lab computers

“A lot of students buy $200 laptops. When you are doing a CAD drawing, it is not really going to work for you. We have iMac Pros in the college labs and the students can remote in and everything works for them. Luckily Splashtop supports Chromebooks since the college has been lending out Chromebooks to students who do not have computers or cannot afford them. You are going to have a lot more people from Wayne State coming to you for Splashtop because they havebeen watching us. It just works.
