Head rotation tracking device for video highlights identification

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing executable computer program instruction, the instructions when executed by a computer processor cause the computer processor to:

• receive head rotation data of a user in connection with watching an event from a rotation tracking device worn by the user;
• filter the head rotation data to generate filtered head rotation data by:
• storing the head rotation data in a sliding window buffer of a predetermined length,
• determine at least one varying pattern of the head rotation data at each sampling point, and
• generate a filtered head rotation data for each sampling point;
• generate corresponding rotary control data based on the filtered head rotation data;
• and
• instruct a rotary system to rotate synchronously with head rotations of the user based on the rotary control data.

A computer system, comprising:

• a rotation tracking device configured to track head rotation movement of a user in connection with the user watching an event, the rotation tracking device worn by the user on a part of the user's head;
• and
• a rotary station configured to communicatively couple with the rotation tracking device, the rotary station comprising:
• a control module configured to analyze the tracked head rotation movement of the user and to generate rotary control data based on the analyzed head rotation movement of the user by:
• storing head rotation data representing the head rotation movement of the user in a sliding window buffer of a predetermined length,
• determining at least one varying pattern of the head rotation data at each sampling point, and
• generating a filtered head rotation data for each sampling point;
• and
• a rotary system configured to rotate a video capturing device synchronously with head rotations of the user based on the rotary control data.
