The future of video recording is finally here. Small and high quality cameras are becoming increasingly common and even the way video is recorded is rapidly changing. Mounts, helmets, goggles and even sunglasses are becoming a “must have” tech gadget and are now able to record video in HD. It is making it so easy for people to record video and share their lives online in HD.

How many times have you said, “I wish I had that on video”?

We all go through life knowing this feeling of regret, and the truth is that until recently, there was nothing we could really do about it. No “normal” person is willing to lugg around a typical hand held video recorder all the time, even the small ones. They are too annoying.

Liquid Image is known for making Ski goggles that record in HD. The smaller POV trend is continuing and now you can even find HD video cameras in quite fashionable looking HD video sunglasses.

This is a new and exciting concept that is shaking things up in the consumer electronics market. True point of view video recording is all about taking video from the perspective of your eyes.  You record what you see without using your hands or altering what you are doing.
