Real Time Collaboration between Land Surveyors is Here!

By visiting this "room" on Vyew, you can share files, collaborate on projects and drawings and get your work done, together-in real time.

What is Vyew?

Do you use Google Chrome Browser?  If so, Vyew is a free web app add-on that works in your browser where groups can create "rooms" like the one I have created and linked above.  That "room" is exclusively for land surveyors and it goes way beyond chat...you can share or create anything and collaborate in real time.  Surveyors can even make video conference calls in this room!  Add it by going here and click install (while you are in Chrome Browser).  It connects directly with your Gmail account and you can get going in less than 10 seconds.

Like I said....Beyond Web Conferencing:Vyew is a tool that allows you to meet and share information both in real-time and continuously. Upload images, files, videos and more into Vyew, and Vyew will store the information in one Room that anyone can access and contribute to at anytime.

Background and Vision of Vyew

  Vyew envisions a persistent (continuous), virtual war room for teams across the globe. The ultimate goal is that Vyew will be used as a war room even when users are physically present at the same space and at the same time in order to keep the continuity of the discussions in between physical meetings. This is to increase efficiency, track content and conversations accurately and continue to blur the distinction between an on-site and a remote workforce. Vyew supports the continual merging of the physical with the virtual in order to empower the globally distributed knowledge workers with the fluidity of their movements.
