New software allows up to 50 mouse cursors to collaborate on one desktop
[ Comments Off ] Posted on 06.15.10 under ASP Member Companies, Desktop, Education
Bartels Media GmbH has released MultiMouse, a multi-user Windows application that lets up to 50 users use the mouse and keyboard on their PCs to control the desktop of a central computer. MultiMouse lets users work together on the common desktop of the central PC for training, brainstorming, collaboration, or document building.
Each user moves their mouse cursor out of their desktop to make it automatically appear on the common computer. Each mouse cursor has a customizable name tag, making it easy to know who is pointing to what on the shared computer screen.
Educators and trainers can use MultiMouse to work together with groups of students. MultiMouse turns a static classroom into an interactive learning environment, where each student can participate and contribute with classmates on a common SmartBoard. The teacher can use MultiMouse’s control panel to invite or block individual students.
Project teams can hold meetings that encourage two-way information flow.
Brainstorming increases the flow of fresh ideas, and problems that take weeks to solve in isolation can be solved interactively by the group in hours.
MultiMouse uses the wireless or Ethernet network connection to transmit each user’s mouse position and text input, with no additional hardware required. MultiMouse’s network communications are configured automatically. There’s no need for a network administrator to assign IP addresses or port numbers.
MultiMouse works on any combination of laptops, netbooks, desktops, or tablet PCs running any mix of Microsoft 32 or 64-Bit Windows 2003/XP/Vista/7.
Prices start at $139(US) for a 5-remote-user license, with 25- and 50-user versions available. Teachers are invited to request educational discounts. You can download a trial version of MultiMouse from http://www.multimouse.com/ .

SharewareJunkies.com reviews Po Bros Inc’s Word Em
[ Comments Off ] Posted on 04.25.09 under Desktop, Education, Games & Entertainment
Word Em for Win 98/ME/XP/2000 by Po Bros Inc was given 5 Stars in all categories by SharewareJunkies.com reviewer Stormy Strock. Word Em is a word game where blocks fall from the top of the playing field like in Tedris. The biggest difficulty. [which will keep the adults playing] is that you must make a 6 letter word to change levels. BUT all of the blocks used in this word must be of the same color. Wicked, huh?
