Conferencing Freeware Expands
Market, but With Limits
Videoconferencing on demand, anytime, anywhere. It's
a
goal businesspeople have pursued in a variety of ways, from high-end,
dedicated collaboration systems to the conferencing freeware
proliferating on the Internet. Today, these choices are, if anything,
more diverse than ever, and potential users need to think clearly about
their specific needs.
The combination of Internet telephony and ever-cheaper webcams means
just about anyone can make an IP-based video call these days. One of
the
pioneer applications in this area was CU-SeeMe, a free
videoconferencing
tool developed in the early 1990s at Cornell University, which could be
downloaded free from a number of websites. Click here for more.

Florida Marine Simulator
Center
Goes Digital
Since the Exxon Valdez oil spill catastrophe in March
of 1989, interest and funding for marine simulators has grown
tremendously. Using sophisticated Image Generators (IG) that provide
highly realistic computer graphics, marine simulators enable virtual
navigational training for ship captains and crew on a wide variety of
vessels and nautical environments.
The RTM Star
Center in Dania Beach, Fla., is a leading training center for
professional mariners and a home to two highly advanced marine
simulators. In early 2004, STAR Center awarded Electric Picture
Display Systems, a high-tech simulation integration company based
in
Rockledge, Fla., the task of giving its simulators a technology
upgrade.
