Abstract

A system for wirelessly transmitting venue-based data in video data packets to remote wireless hand held devices over an 802.11 wireless network. Such a system includes one or more processors for processing video captured by at least one venue-based video camera into data packets for transmission to remote wireless hand held devices, wherein the remote wireless hand held devices each further comprise a display screen for displaying the data and for viewing video while held in the same manner as a personal digital assistant during use, and in a hand of a user and away from a face and head of the user. Such a system additionally includes at least one 802.11 wireless network transmitter for wirelessly transmitting the data packets to the remote wireless hand held devices.
