Sun Microsystems Inc’s SunSolutions has launched ShowMe 2.0 for Sparc-based workstations and is targeting it at the videoconferencing market. It comprises ShowMe Video and Audio, so users can automatically adjust their bandwidth allocation to optimise network use, and it comes with video cameras mounted on each customer’s machine; ShowMe SharedApp, which enables multiple users to interact with live applications simultaneously in real time. SunSelect’s Wabi is included so users can share Microsoft Corp Windows applications; and an improved ShowMe Whiteboard. This now supports X terminals, 24-bit images and multiple sessions running on a single CPU. So, customers can display, discuss, edit or annotate documents, images and video and share applications via an Open Software Foundation Motif graphical user interface. ShowMe 2.0 will ship at the end of 1993, at $3,270 for a single licence, $8,430 for a three-user licence, which includes video camera and board and CD media.
