1. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by a processor of a local computing device, the storage medium comprising: instructions to provide, to a remote computing device with a network interface of the local computing device, remote display information useable to display at least a portion of a graphical user interface (GUI) of the local computing device; instructions to receive, with the network interface, touch input identifying a touch event sensed with a touch-sensitive display at the remote computing device when displaying the at least a portion of the GUI; instructions to determine whether an operating system (OS) of the local computing device is able to utilize touch input; instructions to translate at least the received touch input into local input useable by the OS, based on a translation profile associated with an application in focus at the local computing device at the time of the touch event, in response to a determination that the translation profile is accessible to the local computing device; and instructions to provide the received touch input to the OS, in response to determinations that no translation profile associated with the application in focus is accessible and that the OS is able to utilize touch input.
