Whats the software used in the Google Wave presentation that shows two computers screens?

Asked by davidjw (20points) November 21st, 2009

If you watch either Google Wave presentation (available on YouTube), they have a “piece of software” (one assumes) that shows both of the presenters computers on one screen and allows the focus to change between the two.

Can anyone tell me the name / supplier or a similar system that does the same sort of thing.

Got a link to the youtube vids? I’m pretty sure that you can do this with iChat on OS X.

Seeing the video might help find the specific software that they use.

Whoa… I know of nothing that does that on OS X. It could be that it is a fake video used for promotional purposes.

Looks like they have one instance of Wave running on the machine and the other is probably being shown in some kind of remote desktop/SSH type program. I’m not a Mac user so I’m unsure what they’d be using for the second instance.

To add to the mystery-mysery :)
1. I’m not sure if its mac/win/lin other – as one (male)is using Windows – the other (female) OS-X (with a nice sticker over the apple logo.

2. if you watch the very very very long video they use the same ‘software’ on the stage in real time – so i don’t think its a video mock up

3. Watching the two talk at the referenced YouTube video – it seems it may be hardware as both the mac and the pc have both a cat5 and a “video out” hard wired.

Still love to know what it is thou…........... thanks to all reading and replying
