A Raspberry Pi Camera Cap for Your Next Trip

You can take a photo with your phone or other device, and even tag it with the location, time, or camera settings. But what if you want to know what direction the photographer is facing, as well as the pitch and roll of the camera? With OzzMaker’s baseball cap-mounted Raspberry Pi Zero W/Pi Camera setup, this directional data can now be recorded using a BerryGPS-IMU.

Though this info might seem superfluous, there are a few interesting applications. The hat snaps pictures every two minutes. Once captured, the photos and its corresponding data can be loaded into a program like GeoSetter. It can then overlay your position and field of view on a map, while displaying an actual photo. Additionally, non-level photographs can be corrected by data rather than attempting to do so visually!
