Chest-Mounted Camera

A wearable camera mounted on the user's chest or torso to capture a first-person perspective of activities. In accessibility research, chest-mounted cameras are used to record BLV users' daily activities like cooking for dataset collection and to provide visual input for assistive AI systems. Chest-mounted cameras offer hands-free operation but present challenges including variable framing, suboptimal angles, and the user's inability to visually verify what the camera captures, leading to missed objects and poor field-of-view alignment.
