The Forum Project

Forum

Forum is a distributed application that enables speakers to broadcast talks over a network to the audience members' workstation desktops. The audience receives live audio and video from the speaker, as well as the speaker's slides and slide annotations. The audience can interact with the speaker by speaking into a microphone, "voting" anonymously, or sending in written comments.
