pedpov

Pedpov is a term used in online discourse and professional contexts to denote a pedestrian point of view. The phrase is not yet standardized and can refer to at least two distinct concepts depending on domain: a ground-level camera perspective in media and design, and a pedagogical stance in education. The word is a portmanteau of "pedestrian" or "pedestrian experience" and "POV" (point of view).

In media and urban design, pedpov describes scenes shot from a human-scale vantage that mimics walking through a space, often with camera height around 1.2–1.8 meters and natural head movements. In urban design, pedpov emphasizes the pedestrian experience, including sightlines, wayfinding, and comfort, as a guiding principle in street design and public space layout.

In education, pedpov is sometimes used to refer to a pedagogical point of view, i.e., designing instruction from the learner's perspective, prioritizing accessibility, prior knowledge, and experiential learning. It is related to learner-centered and empathetic pedagogy.

Because pedpov lacks a single, official definition, it can be ambiguous; readers should infer from context. The term is more common in niche discussions than in formal standards, and its precise meaning varies across fields.
