- We take a trip back in time to explore the legendary Remote Lounge, a surveillance-themed bar/lounge that opened 2001 in New York City.
We'll explore both the technical details and the sociological aspects of this fascinating project.

I really love the blend of entrepreneurship and tech in your behind-the-scenes video. Really cool to know this whole story. Mikeselectricstuff brought me here, and I subscribed immediately.
Thank you - I am honored! I have been following your channel for quite a while now.

Thanks Leo for making this great video, really inspiring. It brought back memories from when I was in Germany in the 1980's: we visited this bar in Hamburg where every table had a large illuminated number and a red phone. There were people (mostly women) sitting at a table just waiting for the right call... Telephones were ringing everywhere. But you guys took the concept to a whole new level.
I had many fun nights at Remote Lounge!
What was the best experience?
I did not think this was be as interesting as it is but this is so flipping cool!! I wish stuff like this still existed
It should definitely make a comeback but, with new technology.
Wow super cool! I love all the composite analogue video and it's simplicity.
This blows my mind... I wish I could have been there. Also, just the technical challenges and successes are just amazing to think about. And that it all worked, too?!? Wow. Thanks for posting this.
Way cool. I've been fascinated by the concept of telepresence since reading about stuff done at MIT's Media Lab back in the day. I'm a VR developer and continue to be completely baffled by the near total absence of telepresence in VR. Put a stereo camera pair on a fast pan/tilt unit tracking head movement, add a pair of binaural mics and your head is THERE. Bandwidth, range and latency is still somewhat problematic (and/or expensive) for wireless stuff, but it's doable should be getting better soon. There's plenty of coolness to be done now though while we wait for inexpensive stereo 4K transceivers to put in our drones.
This is an amazing video because this was such an amazing proyect, I never heard about it as I was living in China at that time, what is surprising is not the idea, it's how it becomes possible with the technology available at that time. If you see this project now. It's peanuts to do it, using Arduino cards, video card interfaces, etc make it so easy to do it.. but Kudos to him, to build the whole interface in an analog system, this is gobsmacking. this has to work and be cheaper and nothing in the market was compatible or available to integrate a system like that. How a group of people went to do it and create all of this. As an engineering project and from an entrepreneur view this something to teach to other students in STEM careers. I guess all the possibilities were aligned, the right people to built it, the creative mind to push the project and a line of investors to pay for this. REally I enjoyed this video and I really like this channel and the way how it teaches from Scratch to build the card and systems, with out running to use existing systems. Keep going mate you are on the right track.
Best comment ever.
You are my hero. Seriously. Thank you!
I want to see. more footage! So fun!
Great to see a competent engineer with a sense of humor, and some social perspective. Love what you are doing, keep it going !
Thank you very much for sharing. I had never heard of the Remote Lounge. Very interesting.
I am so glad I found this channel, very interesting
Wow... blown away... Also, you have some really cool shirts on your vids
Such a fascinating analysis of both technical and human factors, thanks for sharing this story Leo. Always a pleasure to watch your videos. You should make a Patreon I would gladly support your channel.
Fantastic idea and life experience. My hat is off. Incredible.
This is amazing!
That was an interesting story. Thanks for sharing!
Wow thank you Leo I whatch a LOT of electronics videos but only found yours recently. and this vid in particular really inspired me to be more creative which is not my normal focus ... also just loved your Electrostatic field mill i never saw one before so thanks again
Glad I got to check this project out, it was amazing...
What a fantastic project and breakdown! I'm a recent EE graduate, and this is very inspiring to hear. I'd love to get more into the artistic side, just from hearing about all the projects you've done! Also, I like your Hawaiian shirt!
This is a fascinating history!
Transform it into the home based covid19 bar/lounge!
I noticed that in the photos, the custom circuits that you created looked like they had PCBs that were professionally printed ... is that the case? Or did you use an etching system where you made the boards yourself? And if you had them manufactured, Im interested in what that cost back in 2001 since as you know, anyone can get a PCB manufactured today for what really amounts to almost nothing in the context of the the last 20 years or so.
Yep pro PCB's cheap then, cheaper now.
What an absolute wow!
Bowery was rocking when remote lounge was there ! yeah
I haven’t thought about this place in ages. It was very interesting. I also seem to remember it having a pac man cocktail table. Don’t know why that made an impression.
Amazing!
I appreciated the shirt switch.
I saw that movie and wondered if it was a true story
Truth is stranger than fiction.
very cool! If omegle was a bar...
