SO Viewer

One of the perks of the Internet is that it can bring us closer together, ignoring distance-related restrictions. Nowadays, remote control technology facilitates tech support and remote access regardless of location. In other words, you have the possibility to access another computer from the comfort of your home and control it as if you were in front of it.

SO Viewer (Smart Oculus Viewer) is a remote-control application that makes it possible to access a remote computer no matter where it is located. With its help, you can watch the remote desktop screen in real time and use your own mouse to interact with windows or other elements on the desktop as if they were on your computer screen.

To use SO Viewer, you must first install it on both the local and the remote computer. The setup process doesn’t take much time to complete and the application is ready to go.

You might be a bit surprised about the simplicity of the interface. There are no options and no menus available. Instead, you are welcomed by an elegant black-themed window that boasts two fields. The first displays the local host key code and the second allows you to enter the key code of the remote host computer.

To connect remotely to the target PC, you must paste the correct key code in the dedicated field and press the “Connect” button. Once the connection is established, you should be able to see the desktop area of the remote PC in the main window of SO Viewer.

From this point on, you can interact with all the elements of the remote desktop as if it were the desktop of your own computer. SO Viewer features a fullscreen mode that you can turn on and place on a secondary screen to easily interact with the remote host.

There is no doubt that remote access breaks down barriers and disregards distancing, all the more so in today’s world, when working from distance or from home is becoming the new normal. While it does not yet rise to the standards its most popular competitors set, SO Viewer is a promising software solution for remote access and control.
