We have done this with real robots also. See links in posts below. Basically, if you had the ability to geo-locate your vehicles (via cell phone gps for example) and had a camera that could watch them, then you would have the circles drawn around them just like in this video. The simulation is on a completely separate server and is modeled as if it is being viewed from an overhead camera. So, the simulation is just for the robots. All of the registration and camera modeling is done as if it is real.
We hope to be deploying this in the near future with real responders in the field.

Hope that helps.
