Virtual Midi / Joystick controller over network

[Auge]

Hi,
i recently found this workaround for midi controllers: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=22463

I dont own one of these, but came up with another idea:

Is there any software which can "emulate" a virtual MIDI or joystick interface with just a few simple sliders and buttons and then send it over network?
I got a laptop with touchscreen and it would be great and simple to use it as a controller for simulators.
Just a really simple slider interface with a network connection & midi or joystick driver.

Maybe you know some programs, i didnt found anything in the past 2 hours
The only thing i found was a IOS gamepad via WiFi, so its possible to do it.

regards,
Auge
