How and Why EyePoint 2 Concept EyePoint will allow a person to take a picture of the scene they are looking at, without being attached to their camera. This is achieved using head motion tracking to determine the user’s field of view, and accordingly adjusting the yaw and pitch of the camera mount to frame the image of the scene. Motivation Photographers today are tied to their cameras; even when it is possible to snap pictures from afar with a remote, it is still cumbersome to reposition the camera. Some locations are too dangerous for photographers to linger, and some photographic opportunities would be lost because of the photographer’s presence. With EyePoint, photographers will be able to remotely survey their scene and control the camera with simple gestures.
