Does anyone know of an app that will allow the tablet to be controlled from a PC? Sorta like reverse remote desktop.

Ideally, I like to be able to sit in a room full of WiFi connected Android tablets and control what is displayed on them with a PC (or other Android tablet) application. Think instructor/students or meeting moderator/attendees scenarios.

Thanks
Jim

I use Splashtop for running my computer from my tablet. It might work the other direction. Download the streamers onto your tablet and give it a whirl. Can I ask why you would do that?

As Kaerey posted link, I won't post it again, but I wrote up a full procedure for this including links to the apps you will need there. This should work fine for the Classroom scenario, or certainly for the single user scenario. I personally do this every day with my phone so I don't have to take it out of my bag in the office. The only limitation that I have found is that the devices have to be on commonly accessible sub-nets, I have only ever done it with both the tablet/phone and pc on the SAME sub-net. Since the protocols in use are routable, this should in theory work also for a distance connection, but I have not tested that.

Cheers,
Peter
