Show Wii U Gamepad Video on Computer

I'm trying to find out if anyone has come up with a method of getting the Wii U gamepad video to show on a PC. I've looked this up and found people playing PC games with the Wii U, but that's not what I am trying to do.

I want to duplicate what is on the Wii U Gamepad onto my computer. I would think this could be possible since it's already wireless.

How do I stream my Wii U GamePad to my PC?

Unplug the AV cable from the rear of the console, then connect the Wii plug to one side on the adapter to the rear. Put the USB cable on the other side of the adapter cable into an open port on your PC. Put on your laptop as well as the Wii and double-click the drive outlined for the adapter connection.

How do I display my Wii U on my laptop?

There are two ways for you:

Buy a Mayflash adapter to play any 360 gamepad-supported PC game using your Wii U Pro controller.

Purchase a bluetooth adapter to connect your Wii U Pro controller to the PC to act as a generic PC gamepad. If your PC have built-in Bluetooth device, you don't need to buy the adapter.
