[DEMUG] Software that captures and transmits what's on my screen in real time?

[Michele Stapleton]

I shoot lots of weddings for clients who mostly live out of state.   
They get married in Maine/New England, but live in Boston, NYC, DC  
and beyond. They are here for the wedding, but then we don't see them  
again in person.

We make albums for 90% ofthem, but do most of the album planning and  
editing via a series of phone calls and/or emails, posting web  
galleries or pdfs for them to look at.

Every now and then we'll have a local client or someone who can drive  
back up to work on their album, and it makes album planning and  
editing so much easier when they can come into my studio and sit down  
at the computer with the designer to make their album changes.

Which got me thinking yesterday about how it might be nice if there  
was some sort of software or service which would allow us to edit the  
album long distance but in real time--if they could sit at the  
computer in their home and see what we are doing on the screen here.  
And we could talk back and forth via the computer or the phone at the  
same time, and maybe that would be almost as good as having someone  
come in the studio.

That would require some sort of software that would capture and  
transmit what is on my screen to their screen in real time.

We are doing most of our designs in InDesign right now, but the  
software we are using shouldn't matter, I just want them to get  
screen shots in real time.

Anyone heard of such an animal?
