How are first-person perspective videos shot?

DSLR cameras can be used to take POV shots. Commonly DSLR cameras are mounted on to a helmet camera rig to really bring the POV to life. The helmet rig with the DSLR Cam is worn by the actor and it directs the audience gaze down to the hands showing the objects being touched and everyday actions being carried out.
