Abstract
Methods, systems and wearable devices are provided, which are associated with users in communicating group(s). Devices receive or derive their position, calculate their device axis orientation with respect to an axis of a reference frame and a line of sight (LOS) of associated component(s) or user, and deliver specified data to other users according to their position with respect to the LOS and predefined rules. The systems may be configured to understand the nature of the situation and to enable automatic sharing of relevant digital information among the users within a dynamic network according to specified criteria (e.g., thresholds). Pictures and videos may be shared automatically with the relevant friends assuming that those friends are within the position and orientation of the taken image, linked within a private network to the user sharing the image, and approved to receive such data from the network.
