Methods and apparatus are described that enable user interface virtualization for any of a wide variety of applications and computing environments. A system for providing virtual user interfaces over a network, comprises one or more servers deployed on the network and a plurality of clients. The servers manage operation of a plurality of virtual frame buffers and a plurality of user interface applications and associate each of the user interface applications with a corresponding one of the virtual frame buffers. Each user interface application is configured to render a corresponding graphical user interface to the corresponding virtual frame buffer. The servers establish a first dedicated, persistent, bi-directional connection with each of the clients to conduct a virtual user interface session and allocate one of the virtual frame buffers to each of the clients, forward updates, including transparency information, of the graphical user interface from each virtual frame buffer to the corresponding client. The servers receive user input from each client and provide the user input to the corresponding user interface application. |
