Yes, Xspice is a way to do it and was updated since 2014.
SPICE is also a protocol for remote desktop.
SPICE project provide the protocol libraries, headers and some definitions.
We also provide a server library, spice-server, that implements this protocol.
The same spice-server library is used by Qemu/Kvm and by Xspice to provide it.
The Xspice works in a similar way to Xvnc providing a server you can
connect to.
