Abstract: A system and method for establishing and controlling a direct video output feed from a selected remote device. The system and method employs a requesting handheld device which seeks to view a video feed in specified remote location in real time, a capturing handheld device which desires to allow video captured by its camera to be provided to the requesting handheld device, and a server which facilitates the identification of candidate capturing handheld devices based on the characteristics of the desired video feed and the establishment of a real time session between the requesting handheld device and the capturing handheld device through which the video feed may be provided. Through this configuration, the requesting handheld device is able to request, establish, and exert control of a direct video output feed being captured remotely in real time on the capturing handheld device.
