Creating virtual hardware solutions for Windows that bridge the gap between software and system integration

Virtual Drivers is an open-source organization dedicated to developing professional-grade virtual device drivers for Windows. Our mission is to provide developers, content creators, and IT professionals with powerful tools that emulate hardware devices at the system level, enabling innovative solutions for streaming, virtual reality, remote desktop, and headless server configurations.

Founded and actively led by MikeTheTech with key contributions from Jocke (zjoasan), we specialize in creating robust, reliable virtual drivers that seamlessly integrate with Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems.
