CU-SeeMe
Welcome to my CU-SeeMe web pages. Here you'll find information about almost all facets of CU-SeeMe videoconferencing software. In addition to the navigation elements at left there's also a CU-SeeMe Site Map.
What is CU-SeeMe?CU-SeeMe - pronounced 'see you see me' - allows you to see, hear, and speak with others. You can have a one-on-one conversation with someone running the CU-SeeMe client software, which is currently available for Macintosh and Windows. You can have a one-to-many conference by directing your CU-SeeMe client software to connect with a computer running the CU-SeeMe reflector software, currently available for UNIX. There are many public reflector sites to which you can connect. As an early press release from Cornell University said:
Why is CU-SeeMe used?CU-SeeMe was designed and implemented to provide "desktop videoconferencing" to people sharing a high-speed network, such as a campus-wide or company-wide 10 megabit/second Ethernet local area network. Almost immediately after its public release CU-SeeMe was taken on a digital joy-ride in directions its creators never imagined. Newcomers to the Internet, old-timers, students, telecommuters, educators, and artists began to use CU-SeeMe for their work, their play, and their artistic creations. And we didn't have high-speed networks; those who could afford it used the state-of-the-art 14.4 kbps of the day. (CU-SeeMe is being modified to behave well in low-bandwidth situations, for which all our system and network administrators are thankful.) As you traverse these pages, and the links from these pages to related sites, you'll see a rapidly-expanding world of CU-SeeMe use in a variety of scientific, educational, and creative fields. We hope you'll join us.
Where may I get CU-SeeMe?CU-SeeMe was created at Cornell University, in Ithaca, New York, USA. The CU-SeeMe Team maintains the freeware versions of both the CU-SeeMe client and reflector software. (Freeware versions of the CU-SeeMe client software may be found at many software archive sites across the Internet, but these versions are often out of date.) "White Pine" Software is the exclusive licensee for enhanced, interoperable, commercial versions of both the CU-SeeMe client and reflector software. The CU-SeeMe software may be found at these teams' web pages.
