First person POV camera for real time viewing of procedure being captured

[KDE5Fan]

This is my first Pi project and I'm wondering if this is the best platform as I've had people recommend Arduino for something similar and I'm always confused as to which platform is best for what types of projects. I like working with Linux so I lean towards Pi solutions if it can be done.

What I need is basically a camera (or two, I know there are splitter boards for the SPI) that captures the procedures being done by a technician such as soldering a circuit board, fine engraving to even me "medical" procedures like tattooing, skin care procedures, etc. In all of these procedures the tech's face will be about 2ft away from the area on which they are working. I was thinking that something like a camera attached to a pair of glasses (placed over the arch/bridge between the two lenses) or another option would be a head band strap like how headlamps work (and an additional light source could be added with this as well - I can build a custom mount for the camera or camera/lights without much problem).

Now the output will be sent to some kind of screen like a 7-10" tablet so the procedure can be watched by someone near by, possibly the person having the procedure or whoever needs to see it.

I would think that HD video would be the best, but there are going to be times when a picture would be very beneficial so it can be viewed (zoomed) in much higher detail that that from normal HD. This is why I was thinking of possibly adding 2 cameras. One for the high quality video and another for the highest still image camera.

I'm guessing that the Pi will do what I need for this project but since I have no experience with this, I'd really appreciate some info and suggestions on what might be the best direction to go here (single/dual camera). I don't know if stabilizing can be included in this somehow but that might be worth looking at if it is even an option.

Oh, as for the camera wire length, I've found many extensions from 2m up to 5m and I can make my own where it would run along the glasses or oh the forehead.

thanks for any suggestions or input!!!

PS: I'm guessing there may be some product out there like this for doctors but I can also guess it is several hundred dollars. there are also the police body cams but they don't offer the small footpirnt for glasses or use with a touchscreen. From what I can tell I'm looking at the cost of a Pi, Camera, camera extension cable and an HD touchscreen monitor (which I have in a 10" already). At the highest I'd need to add the SPI splitter, 2nd camera, 2nd extension cable. $40 pi, $40 camera (IDK real cost, just guessing), $10 cable - I have memory cards and touch screen.
