A first person camera in Blender is a camera that is positioned and oriented in such a way that it simulates a first person view from the perspective of the camera. That is, the camera is positioned and oriented as if the person using it was standing in the position of the camera, looking in the direction of the camera's view.

First person cameras are often used in video games to give the player a more immersive experience. In Blender, first person cameras can be useful for creating cutscenes or for recording video footage from the perspective of the camera.
