1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a smart headgear comprising;
a plurality of cameras comprising a front facing camera, a rear facing camera, a first side facing camera, and a second side facing camera, wherein the second side facing camera is opposite to the first side facing camera, wherein the front facing camera generates a first video data, the rear facing camera generates a second video data, the first side facing camera generates a third video data, and the second side facing camera generates a fourth video data,wherein the first video data, the second video data, third video data, and fourth video data provide a 360 degree view around the smart headgear, and wherein the 360 degree view is seen from a perspective viewed from the smart headgear,wherein the front facing camera, rear facing camera, first side facing camera, and second side facing camera are each coupled to the smart headgear,a communication subsystem directly coupled to and directly positioned on the smart headgear,a control subsystem directly coupled to and directly positioned on the smart headgear, anda link directly coupled to and directly positioned on the smart headgear, wherein the link communicatively couples the cameras, the communication subsystem, and the control sub system,wherein the control subsystem is configured to process each video data from the cameras into a manipulated signal and the communication subsystem is configured to wirelessly transmit the manipulated signal from the smart headgear to a destination device and wherein the manipulated signal provides the 360 degree view that is seen from the perspective viewed from the smart headgear;
wherein the control subsystem manipulates the first video data, second video data, third video data, and fourth video data into the manipulated signal comprising a wireless data stream having a transmittable encoding format, and wherein the control subsystem generates the manipulated signal prior to the communication subsystem wirelessly transmitting the manipulated signal from the smart headgear to the destination device; and
wherein the wireless data stream comprises a wireless data streaming video that shows the 360 degree view.
