  CU-SeeMe
       
           /see`-yoo-see'-mee/ ("CU" from {Cornell
          University}) 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.
