1. A system comprising:
- a camera system comprising;
a camera;
a wireless communications module;
a memory storing a plurality of instructions; and
a processor configured to execute the instructions stored in the memory and transmit images from the camera using the wireless communications module;
a hat comprising;
a brim;
an orientation-specific receptacle embedded in the brim configured to receive the camera system in the brim and to detachably secure the camera system to the brim of the hat, such that a first portion of the camera system protrudes above a surface of the brim and a second portion of the camera system protrudes below the surface of the brim;
at least one battery secured to the hat at a location outside the receptacle in the brim and configured to electrically couple to the camera system;
a first vibration module located on a first side of the hat and that vibrates in response to a first command received from a remote system and initiated by a user of the remote system to indicate to a wearer of the hat that the wearer should turn the wearer'"'"'s head in a direction of the first side; and
a second vibration module located on a second side of the hat opposite the first side of the hat and that vibrates in response to a second command received from the remote system and initiated by the user of the remote system to indicate to the wearer of the hat that the wearer should turn the wearer'"'"'s head in a direction of the second side.

8. A method performed for hosting an interactive assistance session, the method comprising:
-
pairing a mobile device with a camera system that is detachably secured to an orientation-specific receptacle embedded in a brim of a hat, wherein; the orientation-specific receptacle is configured to receive the camera system in the brim, such that a first portion of the camera system protrudes above a surface of the brim and a second portion of the camera system protrudes below the surface of the brim; and the hat comprises; a first vibration module located on a first side of the hat and that vibrates in response to a first command received from the mobile device and initiated by a remote user of a remote assistance system to indicate to a wearer of the hat that the wearer should turn the wearer'"'"'s head in a direction of the first side; and a second vibration module located on a second side of the hat opposite the first side of the hat and that vibrates in response to a second command received from the mobile device and initiated by the remote user of the remote assistance system to indicate to the wearer of the hat that the wearer should turn the wearer'"'"'s head in a direction of the second side; connecting, by the mobile device, to an interactive session system; selecting, by the mobile device and from the interactive session system, an interactive assistance session, thereby causing the mobile device to transmit a video feed received from the camera system to the remote assistance system and to receive an audio feed from the remote assistance system; receiving data describing directions for a task with the assistance of the remote user on the remote assistance system viewing the video feed and speaking on the audio feed; and providing, by the mobile device, the first command to the first vibration module in response to data received from the remote assistance system. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A wearable camera system comprising:
-
a camera; a wireless communication module; an emergency situation input indicator; a memory storing a plurality of instructions; a processor; a body housing the camera, the wireless communication module, the emergency situation input indicator, the memory, and the processor; and a hat comprising; a brim and an orientation-specific receptacle embedded in the brim that is configured to receive the body housing the camera, the wireless communication module, the emergency situation input indicator, the memory, and the processor, and to detachably secure the body housing the camera, the wireless communication module, the emergency situation input indicator, the memory, and the processor to the brim of the hat such that a first portion of the body protrudes above a surface of the brim and a second portion of the body protrudes below the surface of the brim; a first vibration module located on a first side of the hat and that vibrates in response to a first command received from a remote system and initiated by a user of the remote system to indicate to a wearer of the hat that the wearer should turn the wearer'"'"'s head in a direction of the first side; and a second vibration module located on a second side of the hat opposite the first side of the hat and that vibrates in response to a second command received from the remote system and initiated by the user of the remote system to indicate to the wearer of the hat that the wearer should turn the wearer'"'"'s head in a direction of the second side; wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions stored in the memory and perform operations comprising; determining that the emergency situation input indicator has been activated; determining a geographic location of the wearable camera system; and transmitting, by the wireless communication module, the geographic location of the wearable camera system and a video feed from the camera to an emergency situation server system. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
