SnorriCam

A SnorriCam (also chestcam, body mount/bodymount, or bodycam)[1] is a camera device used in filmmaking that is rigged to the body of the actor,[2] with the camera facing the actor directly so that they appear in a fixed position in the center of the frame.[3][4] A SnorriCam presents a dynamic, disorienting point of view from the actor's perspective, providing an unusual sense of vertigo for the viewer.[4]

The type of shot that this device is used for can be considered opposite to the more common fixed first-person perspective shot.[1]
