Virtual input device system

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, the memory having stored therein computer-executable instructions, comprising:
• an input namespace component configured to map a plurality of input device types to a provider, wherein the provider normalizes input data generated by the input device types to normalized input data that is not distinguishable based on respective input device types of the plurality of input device types;
• and
• the provider configured to:
• receive input from an input device having an input device type of the plurality of input device types;
• and
• normalize the input data into the normalized input data, and
• provide the normalized input data to a user interface element.

A non transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution, cause a system including a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• mapping a plurality of input device types to a provider, wherein the provider normalizes input data generated by the input device types to normalized input data that is not distinguishable based on respective input device types of the plurality of input device types;
• obtaining first input data from a first input device having a first input device type of the plurality of input device types;
• normalizing, via the provider, the first input data into first normalized input data of the normalized input data;
• and
• providing, by the provider the first normalized input data to a user interface element.
