Abstract

In one embodiment of the invention, a system provides virtual presence model in servers. An embodiment of the invention also has video streaming capability and can allow a user to select which video to watch as the large, central video with some statistics and data on Side portions of the user interface.

Claims

1. A virtual presence model, comprising:

a server including a processor that executes software that provides functionalities of a virtual layer;

wherein the virtual layer stores data transmitted by a subsystem that is remote from the server;

wherein the virtual layer stores identification data that identifies the data transmitted from the subsystem; and

wherein the data and the identification data are associated with a smart helmet that includes the subsystem.

2. The model of claim 1 wherein the identification data comprises an event data.

3. The model of claim 1 wherein the identification data comprises a status data.

4. The model of claim 1 wherein the identification data comprises a name data.

5. The model of claim 1 wherein the identification data comprises an identification of a data type.

6. The model of claim 1 wherein the data comprises at least one of a video stream data, an audio stream data, a Global Positioning System (GPS) data, or a telemetric data.

7. A method of providing a virtual presence model, comprising:

providing a server that includes a processor that executes software that provides functionalities of a virtual layer;

storing, by the virtual layer, data transmitted by a subsystem that is remote from the server;

storing, by the virtual layer, identification data that identifies the data transmitted from the subsystem; and

wherein the data and the identification data are associated with a head gear that includes the subsystem.

8. The method of claim 7 wherein the identification data comprises an event data.

9. The method of claim 7 wherein the identification data comprises a status data.

10. The method of claim 7 wherein the identification data comprises a name data.

11. The method of claim 7 wherein the identification data comprises an identification of a data type.

12. The method of claim 7 wherein the data comprises at least one of a video stream data, an audio stream data, a Global Positioning System (GPS) data, or a telemetric data.
