Can I wirelessly control my T4i from a laptop?

I have a T4i and would like to be able to wirelessly control some functions such as focusing and taking pictures, and also see a preview of what the camera is seeing using my laptop or tablet (full Win8 OS). Is this possible, and if not, why not?

I have a Satechi remote for it, so why couldn't there be some kind of usb device (remote) that attaches to your laptop usb port, then have the computer software send commands to the usb device, which then sends commands to the camera, but then also provides a wireless connection to stream a preview to the software on the laptop.

Maybe there is something like this out there, but I haven't seen anything yet. I don't know much about cameras and photography yet but it seems that in 2013 there should be such capabilities.
