Head-fixed camera systems are widely known, but since they are aligned by the head only and not by the eyes they are not able to always look at what the cameraman is looking at, and the image quality is poor if no effort is made to stabilize the camera. Systems like Steadycam, in contrast, focus on image stabilization at the cost of restricting the cameraman in his actions. The prototype of a new mobile head-mounted comera system was developed that is continuously aligned with the orientation of gaze. In doing so, the biological gaze stabilization reflexes are used to keep the video camera stable on target. Applications like movie making through the eyes of an actor or documentary movies for sports and other activities are conceivable. The system was tested by a surgeon who could successfully document his activities.
