Abstract: Systems and methods of controlling a remote camera system by head rotation are herein described. A sensor on a head-mounted display (HMD) can determine the orientation of the HMD. A computing device can translate the orientation of the HMD from one coordinate representation to another coordinate representation. A microcontroller can convert the orientation of the HMD to a control signal. A motor controller can orient a camera mounted gimbal based on the control signal. A plurality of cameras on the camera mounted gimbal can stream video to the HMD. A process on the HMD can process the streaming video to allow for stereoscopic vision and depth. A display on the HMD can display the processed streaming video.
