At Windows Developer Day event, Microsoft announced Project Rome.
“Project Rome” is the code name for Microsoft’s remote systems platform. It consists of API sets on multiple development platforms which allows an app on a client (local) device to interact with apps and services on a host (remote) device when both of them are using the same Microsoft Account (MSA).

This enables a developer to program cross-device experiences and scenarios that move with the user and remove the boundaries between their devices regardless of form factor or platform.
To get started with Project Rome, Microsoft is releasing the Android version of the Project Rome SDK. The Android SDK works both with Java and Xamarin.
Currently, Project Rome is implemented for the following scenarios:
- Windows client to Windows host
