         The following documents previously filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") by InterVU Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), are hereby incorporated by reference in this Registration
Statement:

         (a)      The Annual Report on Form 10-K filed pursuant to the
                  Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
                  Act") on March 31, 1998 (the "Annual Report on Form 10-K");

         (b)      All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of
                  the Exchange Act since the effective date of the Annual Report
                  on Form 10-K; and

         (c)      The description of the Company's Common Stock, contained in
                  Registration Statement No. 333-51587 on Form S-1, filed with
                  the Commission on May 1, 1998, together with the amendments
                  thereto filed with the Commission on May 6, 1998, May 20,
                  1998, June 8, 1998 and June 15, 1998.

         All documents filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the date this Registration Statement
is filed with the Commission and prior to the filing of a post-effective
amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which
deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part of it
from the respective dates of filing of such documents. Any statement contained
in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration
Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other

ITEM 4.   DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 5.   INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 6.   INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company
has broad powers to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities
they may incur in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act.

         The Company's Certificate and Bylaws provide that the Company will
indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware
law. Delaware law permits, but does not require, a corporation to indemnify
officers, directors, employees or agents and expressly provides that the
indemnification provided for under Delaware law shall not be deemed exclusive of
any indemnification right under any bylaw, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors, or otherwise. Delaware law permits indemnification against expenses
and certain other liabilities arising out of legal actions brought or threatened
against such persons for their conduct on behalf of the Company, provided that
each such person acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably
believed was in or not opposed to the Company's best interests and in the case
of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct
was unlawful. Delaware law does not allow indemnification of directors in the
case of an action by or in the right of the Company (including stockholder
derivative suits) unless the directors successfully defend the action or
indemnification is ordered by the court.

         The Company is a party to indemnification agreements with each of its
directors and officers. In addition, the form of Underwriting Agreement entered
into by the Company in connection with the public offering of 1,380,000 shares
of Common Stock, plus over allotments, if any, provides for the indemnification
of the Company and its directors and officers against certain liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act.

         The Company maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance
covering its executive officers and directors. The policies have limits of up to
$5,000,000 in the aggregate, subject to retentions of up to $175,000 in the
aggregate.


ITEM 7.   EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

ITEM 8.   EXHIBITS.

         The Exhibit Index immediately preceding the exhibits is incorporated
herein by reference.

ITEM 9.   UNDERTAKINGS.

         (a)      The undersigned Company hereby undertakes:

                  (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement;

                           (i) To include any prospectus required by Section
         10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
         Act");

                           (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
         arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the
         most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in
         the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
         forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
         any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
         dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
         registered) and any deviation from the low or high and of the estimated
         maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
         with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
         changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in
         the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
         Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement;

                           (iii) To include any material information with
         respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
         Registration Statement or any material change to such information in
         this Registration Statement;

provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and
(a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3, Form
S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or
furnished to the Commission by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration
Statement.

                  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

                  (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

         (b) The undersigned Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)



                                       5
<PAGE>   6

or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that
is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

         (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company
has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer
or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.

requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration
Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly

                  Act") on March 31, 1998 (the "Annual Report on Form 10-K");

         (b)      All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of
                  the Exchange Act since the effective date of the Annual Report
                  on Form 10-K; and

                  Registration Statement No. 333-51587 on Form S-1, filed with
                  the Commission on May 1, 1998, together with the amendments

ITEM 4.   DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 5.   INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 6.   INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company
has broad powers to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities
they may incur in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act.

         The Company's Certificate and Bylaws provide that the Company will
indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware
law. Delaware law permits, but does not require, a corporation to indemnify
officers, directors, employees or agents and expressly provides that the
indemnification provided for under Delaware law shall not be deemed exclusive of
any indemnification right under any bylaw, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors, or otherwise. Delaware law permits indemnification against expenses
and certain other liabilities arising out of legal actions brought or threatened
against such persons for their conduct on behalf of the Company, provided that
each such person acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably
believed was in or not opposed to the Company's best interests and in the case
of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct
was unlawful. Delaware law does not allow indemnification of directors in the
case of an action by or in the right of the Company (including stockholder
derivative suits) unless the directors successfully defend the action or
indemnification is ordered by the court.

         The Company is a party to indemnification agreements with each of its
directors and officers. In addition, the form of Underwriting Agreement entered
into by the Company in connection with the public offering of 1,380,000 shares
of Common Stock, plus over allotments, if any, provides for the indemnification
of the Company and its directors and officers against certain liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act.

         The Company maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance
covering its executive officers and directors. The policies have limits of up to
$5,000,000 in the aggregate, subject to retentions of up to $175,000 in the
aggregate.

ITEM 7.   EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

ITEM 8.   EXHIBITS.

         The Exhibit Index immediately preceding the exhibits is incorporated
herein by reference.

ITEM 9.   UNDERTAKINGS.

         (a)      The undersigned Company hereby undertakes:

                  (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement;

                           (i) To include any prospectus required by Section
         10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
         Act");

                           (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
         arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the
         most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in
         the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
         forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
         any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
         dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
         registered) and any deviation from the low or high and of the estimated
         maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
         with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
         changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in
         the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
         Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement;

                           (iii) To include any material information with
         respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
         Registration Statement or any material change to such information in
         this Registration Statement;

provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and
(a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3, Form
S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or
furnished to the Commission by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration
Statement.

                  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

                  (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

         (b) The undersigned Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)

                                       5
6

or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that
is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

         (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company
has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer
or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.
