First Responders
Imagine a fire breaking out at a chemical plant. The first pumper truck on the scene steers their video camera to the action to relay in real time to the fire chief the nature of the fire. The chief and his team can coordinate additional support to those first on the scene to quell the flames quickly.
Imagine a car wreck. The ambulance's Emergency Medical Technicians stabilize the victims while a video stream is played to the emergency room trauma experts who know exactly how to prepare to save lives the second the victims enter the ER.
