Why Project Mercury?

Your creative team shouldn't be hindered by remote desktop limitations. With Project Mercury, your artists, designers, and developers can take full advantage of pen and touch input on both their local and remote machines. Switching between local and remote use of your pen is as easy as selecting an application window, no matter what size. Plus, if you run the same app locally and remotely, the application specific settings will automatically apply on both systems. 

Creators will love a brand new feature, Mercury Inkline – an instant temporary line drawn on your screen to bridge the gap between the pen tip and the drawn line. It's the closest you'll see a line following your pen tip on a virtual system.
