CU-SeeMe (also written as CUseeMe or CUSeeMe depending on the source) is an Internet videoconferencing client. CU-SeeMe can make point to point video calls without a server or make multi-point calls through server software first called a "reflector" and later called a "conference server" or Multipoint Control Unit (MCU). Later commercial versions of CU-SeeMe could also make point-to-point or multi-point calls to other vendor's standards-based H.323 endpoints and servers. == History == CU-SeeMe was originally written by Tim Dorcey of the Information Technology department at Cornell University.〔(Cu-SeeMe article by Tim Dorcey in March 1995 Connexions )〕 It was first developed for the Macintosh in 1992 and later for the Windows platform in 1994. Originally it was video-only with audio added in 1994 for the Macintosh and 1995 for Windows. CU-SeeMe's audio came from Maven, an audio-only client developed at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.〔(History of CU-SeeMe Project )〕 CU-SeeMe was introduced to the public on April 26, 1993 as part of an NSF funded education project called the Global Schoolhouse.〔(GlobalSchoolhouse History )〕 ("It is Not About the Technology" ) tells about (Global SchoolNet's ) Global SchoolHouse Project using the first multi-point Internet-based video conferencing to connect schools in the United States and with schools worldwide. By sending video and audio signals over the Internet using CU-SeeMe software, students were able to see and hear each other while they worked on collaborative assignments. As part of the program they interacted with special guests, such as Vice President Al Gore, the anthropologist Jane Goodall, Senator Dianne Feinstein and surgeon general C. Everett Koop. In 1994 WXYC used CU-SeeMe to simulcast its signal to the net and so became the world's first internet radio station.〔(WXYC history )〕 On Thanksgiving morning in 1995, ''World News Now'' was the first television program to be broadcast live on the Internet, using a CU-SeeMe interface. Victor Dorff, a producer of ''WNN'' at the time, arranged to have the show simulcast on the Internet daily for a six-month trial period. CU-SeeMe was also used in a taped interview segment in which anchor Kevin Newman and (Global Schoolhouse ) director and founder (Dr. Yvonne Marie Andres ) discussed the future of computers in communication. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CU-SeeMe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
