I’m having hard time to help my parents troubleshoot their equipment remotely, when they try to observe the objects both with their eyes and manipulate phone camera for our video chat simultaneously. You can get sick of camera shaking, and they are getting tired too. I thought maybe if they had a VR headset and could stream their view directly to the chat, it could be helpful. Maybe I could even somehow point at things in their view to tell, for example, which cable to check. I do not own a headset, and I couldnt find info of such tools via simple/AI search (maybe wrong keywords). Maybe you know of such domestic solutions?

    If you are a little techie you could attach a camera to a hat, and a laser mounted to a motor to point at stuff with. Run it all through a PC and stream it to yourself

      don’t even need a motor just a streaming camera mounted to the forehead and a laser pointer. yeah I think money is to a hat would be the simplest set up
