Abstract: A network of modular video display stations controlled from one or more remote locations using commercially available or proprietary software. Each station contains a complete modular computer system and one or more display screens which can be arranged in many configurations. Each station is equipped with one or more cameras to provide visual data to the control centers. The content of the stations can be changed randomly and directed for viewing over a public network such as the internet. Data is transmitted to and from the stations via wireless or wired commercial or proprietary networks. Displayed information can be presented with or without sound, and the volume can be controlled from a central location. Stations can be fitted with various other devices, such as printers or microphones, and can contain dispensers for preprinted information.
