POV capture is filmed on Meta smart glasses rather than a handheld camera, which means it's genuinely hands-free. The person doing the job, laying carpet, pouring concrete, running a demolition tool, wears the glasses and works normally while the footage records from their exact eye line. No cameraman standing over their shoulder, no staged re-take, just the job as it actually happens.
Why the angle matters more than it sounds like it should
A normal video, even a well-shot one, is still an observer's view. It's someone watching the work happen. POV footage puts the viewer inside it: their hands are the ones on the tool, their eyes are the ones checking the line, their pace is the one setting the rhythm of the clip. It's a genuinely different psychological experience for the viewer, and it consistently gets a different reaction, more comments, more saves, more of the "I didn't realise that's what it actually involved" kind of response.
