communications /see`-yoo-see'-mee/ ("CU" from CornellUniversity) A shareware personal computer-based
videoconferencing program for use over the Internet,
developed at Cornell University, starting in 1992.
CU-SeeMe allows for direct audiovisual connections between
clients, or, like irc, it can support multi-user
converencing via servers (here called "reflectors") to
distribute the video and audio signals between multiple
clients.
CU-SeeMe was the first videoconferencing tool available at a
reasonable price (in this case, free) to users of personal
computers.
