Optimized Access from Smartphones

Users can now run a Virtual Desktop session or access their remote desktop from any internet-enabled mobile device thanks to NX Web Player, which runs the graphical session in the Web browser.

NX Web Player detects which browser is being used and on which operating system it is running through the browser's user agent string. Based on this information, the Web Player then provides a version optimized for mobile devices. Due to the wide range of embedded browsers that may or may not support Javascript technologies such as jQuery or AJAX, NX Web Player provides different versions according to the browser capabilities.

The main features sported by the Web Player user interface and created expressly for mobile devices are:

  • A button in the upper right corner that hides and shows the NX utility toolbar to interact with the session and open tools such as the virtual keyboard and the virtual clipboard.
  • The NX virtual keyboard to be able to write inside the session.
  • The NX virtual clipboard, a kind of blackboard to copy&paste content from the device to remote and vice-versa.
  • In the case of Apple devices such as iPhone or iPad, the Web Player uses some meta-tags to fit the gyroscope.


A quick overview of NX Web Player at work on a mobile device, is available here.
