I hope Google can put OIS for anti-shake and a good camera in there. You're probably going to need as good image stabilizer as possible, as you'll be moving and shaking (when walking) your head a lot more than with a phone that you can still keep more or less still.

I don't think optical stabilization would really do much for full-on head bobbing. It's more for finer-grained movements, like hands shaking. And I don't think our heads actually shake much.

That said, you could do digital stabilization on head bobbing and probably get a pretty good result by jacking up the size of the stabilization window, although you'd lose frame size.

Humans probably compensate for some movements, but they are nowhere near as good at it as birds.
