Abstract
A solution is disclosed for conveniently capturing video highlights in a sports event by tracking head rotation movement of a user and synchronizing rotations of a video capturing device (e.g., the user's mobile phone) on a rotary station with the head rotation movement of the user. The user wears a rotation tracking device, which tracks the head rotation movement of the user in connection with watching an event. The head rotation data from the user's head rotation movement is filtered to generate filtered head rotation data, which excludes noise motions in the head rotation data. Corresponding rotary control data is generated based on the filtered head rotation data. The rotary control data is used to instruct a rotary system to rotate synchronously with head rotations of the user when a video capturing device mounted on the rotary system captures videos of the sports event.
