Barry Spencer is the developer / inventor of several video conferencing programs during the videoconferencing boom on the internet. He comes from a family of inventors and it was kind of expected that he would follow suit. His grandfather, Percy Lebaron Spencer, is the inventor of the microwave. Barry was one of the first to use videoconferencing on the internet in California from a garage. His invention was called SEESAW. It was sold to investors back in the late 90's. It was innovative in that it was the first internet to offer high-quality real-time video and voice communication. Considered a breakthrough technology it provides face-to-face conversations for both broadband and dial-up users. Prior to SEESAW, video chat consisted of intermittent still images. The other application that he developed was entitled Zorap. Zorap, the company, is no longer in operation but the program still lives on with a new investor. This interview gives some background on the birth of the Zorap and part of the history of videoconferencing.

Okay, yes I asked the same question a zillion ways but excuse me on that! LOl. After all he said I still asked was Zorap a software? And my last question should have been how can the concept be used in schools?
