Working on a single project with someone else can be a logistically difficult process.  It often requires constantly sending files back and forth and providing commentary on each other’s work with each step of the process.  Cool person in technology Jahanzeb Sherwani wants to remove the obstacles of this process with his company ScreenHero.  ScreenHero develops a real-time collaborative program that enables two users to share a computer screen when working on projects together.  This could potentially allow for more efficient collaboration and save users’ time when they need to work together to get something done.  Sherwani wants to enable screen sharing across multiple platforms as well.  That’s why he and his team developed ScreenHero to be compatible with both Mac OS and Windows and work cross-platform.  Even if your partner is using a Mac while you’re on a Windows machine, ScreenHero can help you collaborate on the same project simultaneously. Sherwani also recently integrated voice chat into ScreenHero so users don’t have to use a third-party program to speak to each other while working on a project together.  If you have any issues using ScreenHero’s features, you should seek PC tech support for help.

Unlike remote desktop applications such as the ones many computer support services use, ScreenHero allows two users to have complete control of a single screen at once.  Whereas remote desktop programs simply let one user control another’s computer, ScreenHero creates two separate cursors on the screen that can work simultaneously.  With ScreenHero, Sherwani aims to create a sense of complete collaboration and not a “back-and-forth” situation.  The other advantage to ScreenHero is that it lets you collaborate in any piece of software, from office documents to presentations to photo editors and even music editing programs.  That makes Sherwani’s program very versatile in comparison with single-program solutions such as Google Docs’ collaboration feature.

Before founding ScreenHero, Sherwani also created the remote desktop application iTeleport.  On ScreenHero’s website, Sherwani claims that working on iTeleport is what helped him realize the demand and need for a more collaborative system of screen sharing.  Sherwani also currently works as adjunct faculty at Carnegie Mellon University while continuing to work on his startup.
