Methods and apparatus are provided for transmitting sensory data over a bi-directional data link to reproduce an audiovisual environment for a physically displaced operator. The apparatus includes a stationary or mobile surveillance platform equipped with transducers for capturing local sensory information including audio, visual, haptic, thermal, and other metrics associated with human perception. The sensory data is processed, transmitted over the data link, and displayed to the operator to simulate a virtual presence. The system further includes ergonomic sensors for detecting head, body, limb, and/or eye related operator motion to allow the operator to remotely manipulate the sensory transducers to selectively configure the field of perception within the measured environment.
