On June 21, 2004 there was an educational conference in New Orleans and one of our educational users was a guest speaker. He did a major focus on iVisit in education with a little help from a school in Maine, USA, a school in Kobe, Japan, and 2 helpers, JackQ and Goliath. We gave interviews via iVisit on a large screen (over head projector) as the audience, main picture, listened intently. The second and third pictures are from Maine and the fourth picture is from Kobe where it was too early for school to be open. The last 2 are JackQ and Goliath helping out with information. |

United Centers for Spiritual Living has been using iVisit for over 3 years for our Ministerial Program and Practitioner training programs at Holmes Institute. In the last three years we have experienced the many improvement iVisit brings. Such as the ability to connect with 16 locations at one time, meeting with students all over the world and now connecting different UCSL Ministries(example: International Youth and Family Ministries) to the different satellite campuses around the USA. The iVisit program has assisted in reducing expenses for our 4 year Ministerial students (on the average $5K) as well as reach more people via the Internet Conferencing. An example of this was with the International Youth and Family Ministries training program we were able to connect 3 locations with over 40 people all at once...thus saving both time and money for all parties concerned. We look forward to using iVisit in the future.
Blessings,
Rev. Suzette Wehunt

For many years Radio Amateurs (Ham operators) have used several radio modes called slow scan television (single fixed picture) and fast scan television (just like on TV) to transmit their pictures from station to station. This has been primarily in the high frequency bands for the single fixed image and the VHF/UHF bands for the fast scan.
Problems encountered in the HF bands are noise and interference from other stations as well as propagation conditions.
In the VHF/UHF bands they are primarily line of sight and anything beyond line of sight requires elaborate repeater systems up on mountain tops to pick up and relay the signals. This method is still in use today.
Then along comes iVisit. What a deal. We can do the same thing with iVisit without the need for the expensive home station equipment and mountain top equipment.
In addition we can get up to 8 of us hams in a room at a time for a real get together. No noise or interference. It's a real plus.
We also now use iVisit while talking on the ham radio as other operators can look into our stations and see just what we are up to or type of equipment we are operating. Lots of fun.
My background comes from many years of communications aboard U.S. Submarines and U.S. Merchant vessels. 29 years total and to me, iVisit is a great advancement in computerized communications for maintaining contact with friends and relatives. Join the fun.

| BLKnight who regularly broadcasts his radio show "BLKnight Squire G show" via iVisit recently found himself driving a beer truck and on the
Texas / New Mexico border . His colleagues were
hosting his radio show while he was on the road, so he
came into his iVisit radio Home Chat room using a Mac laptop. Thank you BLKnight for sharing your story and great images! |

March, a nice warm evening and we're out on the balcony relaxing, Pumba the cat walks by and looking bigger! A veterinarian confirmed Pumba was pregnant! It didn't take much time for the word to get out so very soon we had several people that wanted to watch this event, however put a pregnant cat right smack in the middle of 10 people staring at her and you can be sure nothing will happen.
So we needed a way to share this with the people that wanted to see but without actually having a house full of people, I suggested iVisit. Phone calls were made, Emails got sent and a webcam got placed next to Pumba, in less than 1 hour everybody that wanted to see was up, running and on iVisit watching every move Pumba made
May 16th, 06:40 AM. the first kitten was born! For more news on Pumba and the Kittens, see http://www.Pr0ductions.eu/

As an intricate part of our communication link between our UCLA Plasma
Physics Laboratory and our laboratory in Alaska, iVisit and other similar
programs allow professors and students alike to communicate from thousands
of miles away. We utilize the audio and video to give both lectures and lab
instructions. While we have not chosen iVisit as out number one choice for
video-conferencing, it is one of our first choices. The staff have been
more than helpful and respond to questions without delay.
Connection in Alaska is all wireless, which would be one reason many
video-conferencing programs lack utility here. Still, the high-resolution
PLUS package from iVisit is a highly useful and effective means to get the
job done. I implore others to try it out and test the program out for
themselves. I guarantee satisfaction on more than one level. |

I’ve been using iVisit longer than I can re-member. Five years ago, I met a guy named Joe on the program. We became friends really quickly, talking almost every day. Four years ago on August 1st, we decided to start dating as a long distance couple. He is from Omaha, Nebraska and I am from Toronto, Ontario. There are close to 16,000 miles between us, but iVisit made it possible for us to be together. Joe came to visit me in Canada for a week. While he was here, he proposed to me. We will be getting married once I am done with university, in another two years. Hopefully we will continue to be able to see each other every day using iVisit We would just like to thank you for bringing us together and keeping us together, since I am almost positive I would not have met my soul mate otherwise.
Miracles really do happen.
Thanks iVisit!!

Am Anfang stand die Idee:
Als passionierter Spielzeugautosammler (Plastik der 50er und 60er Jahre) wollte ich Sammlerkollegen treffen.
Weltweit. Also Internet, wo sonst. Gleichgesinnte sind so nach und nach eingetroffen.
Dann kam das Problem mit Bildern. Wie den anderen zeigen …
Und dauernd neue Bilder machen. "Kannste nicht mal von der Seite, kannste nicht mal von unten …".
Schluss damit. Ein Chat muss her. Ein Video-Chat.
Nach unzähligen Versuchen und ausprobieren hatte der Kollege "MotofotoV" aus Berlin das richtige gefunden: iVisit.net
Abgesehen davon, dass das Dingens nicht nur kinderleicht zu installieren und zu bedienen ist (ich weiss wovon ich rede: Unsere Clubmitglieder sind zwischen 40 und 65 (in Jahren !!!)), endlich können wir das tun, was wir –ausser Spielzeugautos zu jagen- am liebsten machen:
Unsere Schätze jedem auf der ganzen Welt zeigen. Von allen Seiten.
Das ist nur eins der unzähligen Features, die iVisit zu bieten hat.
Am besten … selber testen !
Was mich ausserdem überzeugt hat:
Ein Support, wie er sein sollte:
Keine eMail, die nach zig-Tagen kommt oder nicht …
Keine fürchterlich teure Hotline mit Warteschleifen. Nichts dergleichen.
Live-Hilfe, von Angesicht zu Angesicht, 24 Stunden, rund um die Uhr !
Das nenne ich Service, sonst nix !
Und das alles meine ich so ehrlich, wie es hier steht.
Denn ich bin Plastikautosammler und kein Softwareverkäufer. Joo !
Eins müssen Sie allerdings selber machen: KLICK >>> www.iVisit.net
Was wichtiges hätte ich doch bald vergessen:
Und das Ganze kostet nichts.
Nichts ! Nothing ! Niente !
