"Rovio includes a head-mounted, 640 x 480 pixel video camera for capturing video and still shots of what it sees. The camera is mounted on an extensible arm, which can be positioned at three elevations — foot-level; waste-level, head-level — to afford various views of the environment. An LED headlight can be switched on to improve visibility in dimly-lit environments."
