Abstract
An interactive computerized apparatus includes first and second interfaces and a server in communication on a computer network. The server has at least a first database storing data relating to a first user at the first interface and a second database storing data relating to a second user at the second interface, the first user having access to the second database and the second user having access to the first database. A video and audio interaction system is housed on the server and has programmable code for interaction between the first user at first interface and the second user at the second interface. The interaction includes the first user accessing the second database, the second user accessing the first database, facilitating communication between the first and second users by contemporaneously exchanging video signals and audio signals. The first and second users communicate contemporaneously via the video and audio interaction system.
