Abstract: A system and method for communicating between two or more locations is provided in which a person at a first location (100) wears a device (205) which transmits audiovisual information to a second person at a remote second location (103), and thus enables the second person to see and hear the environment witnessed by the first user. The device (205) may also receive audiovisual information from the second person so as to enable communication and instruction from the second person to the first person. A recording device (219) may also be used for recording audiovisual transmissions sent between the two locations.
