Koush’s latest project, Vysor, lets you control your Android device from your PC

There are a lot of developers out there who make fantastic apps, and Koush is one that hasn’t disappointed yet. The brains behind AllCast and Helium Backup has come through with his latest project, Vysor, which lets you control your Android device through your PC via Chrome. When Vysor detects your device, you’ll get a floating window on your desktop that will be a reflection of your device’s screen – from here, you’ll be able to unlock your screen and interact with it using your mouse as you would your finger. Naturally, it works best with a device which has on-screen buttons, but there are hotkeys for device’s that have physical buttons.

Vysor is actually still in development – it had to go public early because it was uncovered inadvertantly – but despite this, it works surprisingly well. All you need to do is connect up your phone to your PC and it’ll detect your device, allowing you to start interacting with it, which is probably quite useful for developers and people wanting to record footage from what’s showing on the device. You can download the Vysor beta right now for Chrome, but don’t be surprised if there are a few bugs here and there.
