first person view

Through my eyes

First person view is a visual perspective that shows a scene as if through someone's eyes, placing the viewer directly inside the experience.

Video games use first person view to create immersion—you see your character's hands holding a weapon, not the character's back.

The term appears in drone piloting, where FPV means flying while watching a live camera feed from the aircraft: I crashed three times learning to fly FPV.

Also called first person perspective.
