LEADING DESKTOP VIDEOCONFERENCING COMPANIES STRATEGICALLY SELECT FUTURE
LAB'S TALKShow

LOS ALTOS, California, May 2, 1994-- In today's business world,
conferencing now means multiple parties, from multiple locations
communicating with multiple methods. Document conferencing and
videoconferencing are emerging as viable alternatives to face-to-face
meetings and telephone conference calls. The ability to read body language
and data can be crucial to a meeting. To achieve this complete
conferencing solution, four leading desktop videoconferencing vendors have
integrated TALKShow into their product offering and signed OEM agreements
with Future Labs. The companies include: InVision Systems Corporation,
Workstation Technologies, Inc., Mentec Picturecom Limited and Viewpoint
Systems, Inc.

Why did these videoconferencing companies choose TALK Show? According to
Glenn Norem, president of Viewpoint Systems, "The document conferencing
portion of any videoconference can be pivotal to its success. Accordingly,
our recent introduction of MultiView, the multipoint conferencing upgrade
for our LAN-based PC system, demanded the advanced multipoint capabilities
of TALKShow." James J. Geddes Jr., president InVision, added "We looked at
a lot of document conferencing products and concluded that Future Labs is
in a class by themselves. TALKShow provides the ease-of-use and intuitive
interface that allows customers to set up an interactive remote meeting
within seconds." Danny McLoughlin, Products Development Manager of Mentec
Picturecom Limited continued with, "Mentec is one of the leading
independent multimedia communications companies in the world and the
quality of our products is reflected in the years of engineering that has
gone into them. We had to have the best document conferencing software
available and are proud to include TALKShow with every LAN VS1000 system
we sell." Chris Miner, president of Workstation Technologies summed up the
situation as follows: "Videoconferencing companies are going to be
successful largely as a result of their strategic partnerships, Future
Labs not only has a great product, they have demonstrated an unprecedented
commitment to work with us and support us."

"As the pioneers in the document conferencing market we have always
recognized the need for strategic partnerships with the technologies
closest to us; teleconferencing and videoconferencing. These agreements
allow us to provide a videoconferencing solution through our partners,
while remaining focused on what we do best - - document conferencing,"
commented John Chua, president of Future Labs, Inc.
