You go to a beautiful beach. You want to capture some or most of the moments through video camera.
Your fun & enjoyment is almost lost whenever you are looking though the camera's view finder or LCD screen to shoot desired objects.
It is proposed to make a hat with suitable mounting arrangement
for video camera. There will be suitable cable or remote control to 'start' & 'stop' recording, 'zoom in', zoom out' etc.
With this arrangement, you can shoot the objects by directly & continuously looking at them without the irritation of intermittently looking through the view finder.
Here's one

Baked... I saw this in a cartoon called Rug Rats several years ago. |

It is true that the user mode of most cameras soaks up too much of the user's participation. You're either the camera person, or you're participating in the event - there's rarely a junction of the two modes, even with the current vogue of people holding up camera phones at the slightest excuse. They're temporarily taken out of the engagement of the event that they're actually in - removed from participation. |
|

2 problems with this. One is that the camera is more vulnerable when exposed to the activity being filmed. The other is that, with it moving a lot on your head, you're going to get crappy videos. |

vedarshi, you're not alone in your perverted voyeurism (kidding). there's a lot of concealed camera's out there already. |
|

[21 Quest] if it is baked for the camera normally used by tourists with high image quality & other functions, I would love to possess one.
Crappy videos can be edited later on during leisure time. |

[jnmw] concealed cameras are for ill intentions & probably don't have high image quality or other features. |
|
| |
My idea is for the rather innocent ones who want to enjoy the outings with companions and capture the moments to re-live them in future without being disengaged from participation. |
|

You know that technology they use in video conferencing so that the camera points at the person speaking? |
|
| |
Maybe that, with some motion sensing, could be incorporated into a tripod, perhaps folding to the size of a small, erm, folded umbrella? |
|
| |
You could take that to the beach or park, attach an ordinary camcorder on top and let it track and record. |
|
| |
That could reduce the shaky (crappy) footage, which as 21 has already pointed out, is likely to be in the majority. |
|
| |
On that point, people have consented to have their direction of gaze monitored in social situations and it's (perhaps) surprising just how much you look around and what you tend to look at without realising: |
|

"Whaddaya mean you didn't even notice her - it's fifty bleedin' minutes of the legs of 'misssus red and white bikini' and a couple o seconds of me and me varicose veins. Don't even bother giving me any of that subconscious crap - I'm not having any of it, and neither are you tonight yer filthy mutt." |
