...yes and no...
I believe I have an idea of what you're trying to do (multiple remotes aimed at a single USB-UIRT by multiple people).
Here are some of the caveats:
- Each remote would need to use its own code-set so that the app could recognize which remote initiated the code. This could be done with universal remotes, since they have many codesets.
- No two remotes could be used at the same time! This is because the IR of the two remotes would overlap creating an unrecongizable code.
