Definitions

  1. The person or entity to whom something is shown.

    • When you show a credential there's a protocol whereby the showee has assurance that the shower possesses a credential of the particular type without actually seeing the bit string.
    • A situation of showing implies a 'shower' (the person showing) and the thing shown, as well as the person shown to (the 'showee').
    • Once the showee looks at the object, the shower removes his or her gaze from the showee and gazes back at the object (see below and Fig. 5.2).
