One thing I would really appreciate any clarification on:

How did they create the virtual desktop that the mouse and keyboard could interact with as if it were a physical screen off to the side?

Edit: Wow @pcouy, thanks for the sub 2-minute reply! Cheers~ and kudos to you for creating a fantastically easy to read and entertaining writeup.

This is done by configuring the X server on the host computer. The method I used only works with Intel integrate graphics using Linux though.
