(1)     This Registration Statement on Form S-8 covers 1,000,000 additional
        shares of common stock ("Common Stock") available for issuance under The
        1998 Stock Option Plan of InterVU Inc. (the "Plan"), pursuant to an
        amendment of the Plan approved by the stockholders of the registrant on
        October 20, 1999. The Plan authorizes the issuance of a maximum of
        3,000,000 shares of Common Stock. However, the offer and sale of
        2,000,000 shares of Common Stock under the Plan, which have been or may
        be issued upon exercise of options under such plan, have previously been
        registered pursuant to Form S-8 Registration Statement No. 333-61853.
(2)     Pursuant to Rule 416(a), this Registration Statement shall also cover
        any additional shares of the registrant's Common Stock that become
        issuable under the Plan by reason of any stock dividend, stock split,
        recapitalization or other similar transaction effected without receipt
        of consideration that increases the number of the registrant's
        outstanding shares of Common Stock.
(3)     Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the amount of the
        registration fee pursuant to Rule 457. The price per share and aggregate
        offering price are based upon (a) the actual exercise price for shares
        subject to outstanding stock options previously granted under the Plan
        and (b) the average of the high and low sales prices of the registrant's
        common stock on January 18, 2000, as reported on the Nasdaq National
        Market, for shares issuable upon exercise of options not yet granted
        under the Plan. The following chart shows the calculation of the
        registration fee:

(1)     This Registration Statement on Form S-8 covers 1,000,000 additional
        shares of common stock ("Common Stock") available for issuance under The
        1998 Stock Option Plan of InterVU Inc. (the "Plan"), pursuant to an
        amendment of the Plan approved by the stockholders of the registrant on
        October 20, 1999. The Plan authorizes the issuance of a maximum of
        3,000,000 shares of Common Stock. However, the offer and sale of
        2,000,000 shares of Common Stock under the Plan, which have been or may
        be issued upon exercise of options under such plan, have previously been
        registered pursuant to Form S-8 Registration Statement No. 333-61853.
(2)     Pursuant to Rule 416(a), this Registration Statement shall also cover
        any additional shares of the registrant's Common Stock that become
        issuable under the Plan by reason of any stock dividend, stock split,
        recapitalization or other similar transaction effected without receipt
        of consideration that increases the number of the registrant's
        outstanding shares of Common Stock.
(3)     Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the amount of the
        registration fee pursuant to Rule 457. The price per share and aggregate
        offering price are based upon (a) the actual exercise price for shares
        subject to outstanding stock options previously granted under the Plan
        and (b) the average of the high and low sales prices of the registrant's
        common stock on January 18, 2000, as reported on the Nasdaq National
        Market, for shares issuable upon exercise of options not yet granted
        under the Plan. The following chart shows the calculation of the
        registration fee:
