1. A method comprising:
- providing a plurality of passive location indicators;
providing at least one locator activating electromagnetic field and wirelessly transmitting location specifying indicia in response thereto;
sensing a first ambient condition at a first location;
sensing indicia received at the first location;
responsive to a sensed first condition at a first location, transmitting a representation of that condition to a displaced location;
transmitting indicia received at the first location to the displaced location; and
displaying representations of the indicia at a display location.
