Egocentric Camera
Also known as: First-Person Camera, POV Camera
A camera that captures video from the wearer's point of view, typically mounted on the head, glasses, or chest. Egocentric video captures what the user sees or interacts with, making it valuable for activity recognition, assistive technology, and accessibility research. For BLV users, egocentric cameras provide visual input for AI systems that can describe the environment, identify objects, or track task progress, though the variable and often suboptimal framing presents significant challenges for computer vision models.
