BuddyVision

VIM Visual Instant Messaging

- VIM allows for snapshots from the webcam to be inserted into text automatically.

- AIM Direct Connection is used to provide VIM. It  is very challenging to get to run on a machine that is behind a firewall or has any amount of security. Direct Connection opens up a portal between two machines.

- One key point is that VIM allows you to send images via a broadcast to multiple people or to a single person. The recipient need not have a webcam or even BuddyVision installed.
