InVision Introduces VisionGraphics(tm) Document Conferencing

OEM Agreement with Future Labs Gives InVision Interactive White Board
Technology to Support Video and Audio Conferencing System

DALLAS -- At Networld Dallas 93 today, InVision Systems Corporation 
announced that the company has signed an OEM agreement with Future Labs,
Inc.,  under which InVision will be able to offer Future Lab's
TALKShow(tm) interactive white board technology with its product
InVision(tm), Video Conferencing for Windows.  

InVision Systems will be demonstrating both InVision, the company's
real-time audio  and video conferencing system for Windows workstations
and VisionGraphics(tm),  InVision's new interactive document conferencing
systems, in booth 3862.

"After we started shipping InVision last June, it became clear that network
 video conferencing is primarily used for project and task collaboration,"
said James  Geddes, President and CEO of InVision Systems.  "Then we began
actively searching  the marketplace for an interactive white board
application.  It  soon became clear that Future Labs had the best
technology on the market to truly  compliment InVision, since it supports
both TCP/IP and the Windows Sockets API  Standards.  With the signing of
this OEM agreement, we can now offer our customers a  more versatile
solution that allows them to not only establish  face-to-face video
conferences, but also provides them the flexibility and freedom to 
collaborate on documents, drawings, charts, spreadsheets, etc., and
exchange ideas  during the same network session."

"We are very excited about the possibilities we can now offer network users
 by combining our document conferencing technology with InVision's video
conferencing  for Windows product," said John Chua, President and CEO of
Future Labs.  "The  combined power of these two technologies now allows
users to conduct truly productive  and interactive meetings across any
computer network using Windows as the interface. 

The combined technologies could easily become as important to office
communications  as the telephone."

InVision's VisionGraphics incorporates TALKShow's interactive white board 
system for Microsoft Windows that allows multiple users to collaborate on
the same  document and files.  VisionGraphics comes with a wide range of
annotating tools,  including a freehand pencil, color markers, arrows,
pointers, circles, rectangles, text, and  eraser, so each member of a
document conference session can give his or her own  comments about the
shared text or image.  VisionGraphics can support documents, 
spreadsheets, graphics, or other images generated using either DOS or
Windows  applications.  What's more, VisionGraphics operates independently
of individual  applications, so users don't need to be running the same
software applications to take  advantage of VisionGraphics.  The document
conferencing system can use TCP/IP,  NetBIOS, ISDN, or serial connections
as the transport mechanism, and it supports the  new Windows Sockets 1.1
API.

When used in conjunction with InVision, Video Conferencing for Windows, 
users have a powerful interactive tool that allows them to both set up a
live full-motion  video conference and to collaborate on documents and
spreadsheets with the  VisionGraphics option.  By using both InVision and
VisionGraphics, busy executives can  save hundreds of hours resolving
complex business issues which normally would require  travel and lengthy
meetings.  All they have to do is establish an Audio and Video 
teleconference with InVision, open a document using VisionGraphics, and
get to work.   InVision's combined video, audio, and document conferencing
solution is ideal for use  at corporate campuses, hospitals, engineering
departments, training facilities, and in a  host of other environments. 
And both InVision and VisionGraphics can operate over  any LAN/WAN
infrastructure.

InVision, Video Conferencing for Windows, is a real-time, audio and video 
conferencing solution for Windows-based network workstations.  InVision
consists of   InVision 1.0 Software and Documentation.  InVision
Compatible Hardware components  are also available from InVision and they
include an Intel*  Action-Media II* Codec (compression/decompression)
board, Telephone Handset  Assembly and a miniature, monitor-mount color
video camera.  Using Microsoft  Windows 3.1 as the interface, InVision
supports full-motion, bi-directional audio and  video packets across any
conventional computer network architecture, including  Ethernet, Token
Ring, FDDI, Frame Relay, ATM and ISDN.  InVision can also take full 
advantage of Windows' scalable images and multitasking so users can access
files and  data while conducting a teleconference.  InVision is compatible
with all off-the-shelf  network adapters and a wide variety of network
drivers.  As part of its interface, InVision  includes an on on-screen
"mute" button and adjustable volume, contrast, brightness,  and tint
controls.

"InVision is the first company to 'get-it', said Paul Callahan, senior
analyst for  Forrester Research of Cambridge, Mass.  "At the desktop,
video conferencing has to  rely on PC LAN technology as the distribution
mechanism.  It's not an easy problem to  solve, but that's the reality."

InVision is compatible with any TCP/IP networking system for the PC, and
has  been thoroughly tested with TCP/IP solutions from Beame & Whiteside,
NetManage,  The Wollongong Group, FTP Software, Frontier Technology,
InterCon Systems Corp.,  and other vendors.  It has an adjustable
transmission rate so information can be sent at  256, 384 or 512 Kbps, to
optimize the network load.  InVision can also generate from  10, 15 to 22
Frames-per-Second respectively.

Both InVision and VisionGraphics can be installed on any IBM 386, 486 or 
Pentium personal computer running Microsoft Windows 3.1.  InVision
Software is priced  at only $1,195 and the associated InVision Compatible
Hardware components  consisting of the Codec, Telephone Handset and Video
Camera is priced at $2,200.   VisionGraphics begins shipping this week as
a Value-Added upgrade for InVision.
