A modular audio system which includes an acoustic module configured to be removably engaged with a head-worn peripheral device. In some examples, the head-worn peripheral device is a pair of eyeglass frames and the acoustic module is configured to removably secure to a socket arranged on the inside face of the temples of the eyeglasses. The acoustic module can slidingly, pivotably, and/or magnetically engage with the socket such that, when secured, the acoustic module is configured to generate acoustic energy in the form of audible sound proximate a user's ear while the user is wearing the head-worn peripheral device. In other examples, the temples of the head-worn peripheral device are configured to slidingly engage with a sleeve, where the sleeve includes a pocket configured to slidingly engage with the acoustic module.

This frame comprises: a front piece; a temple piece; a connection part that is elastic and that connects the front piece and the temple piece; and wiring which electrically connects a front piece-side electrical element provided to the front piece and a temple piece-side electrical element provided to the temple piece, and a portion of which is routed through the space between the front piece and the connection part.

An apparatus, worn over the eyes of a user, that restores visual clarity to the user in response to a change associated with a film of fluid over the apparatus. In an embodiment the apparatus includes a smart contact portion having at least a first convex surface, a second convex surface, and a concave surface. The apparatus further includes set of liquid thickness sensors embedded upon the first convex surface. The apparatus further includes an electrochemical storage device and a computing module. The apparatus further includes a plurality of ultrasonic transducers embedded upon the first convex surface. The apparatus further includes an electroactive lens structure embedded within central portion of the first convex surface. The apparatus further includes lens controllers that apply electrical signals to the electroactive lens structure to change at least one physical characteristic of the electroactive lens structure based on control signals from the computing module.

An electronic contact lens. The electronic contact lens includes an energy storage device and a charging circuit for charging the energy storage device. The electronic contact lens is configured to disable the charging circuit when the contact lens is worn.

Techniques for providing wearable electronic devices with electrical components are disclosed. The electrical components can provide electrical technology to eyewear to facilitate audio support including enhanced hearing. The electrical components can operate independently or together with other electrical components provided elsewhere. The wearable electronic devices with electronic components can, for example, provide audio output, audio enhancements, or event-related audio content.

The invention relates to spectacles, systems and methods for visibility enhancement, including by glare suppression. The spectacles, systems and methods for visibility enhancement includes spectacles and a spectacle lens having a liquid crystal cell (LC), the transmission (TR) of which may be varied by a suitable control and the liquid crystal cell (LC) designed so that the transmission (TR) of the liquid crystal cell (LC) may be switched between high and low transmission states. The liquid crystal cell (LC) includes a control for regulating the times of the state of high transmission (T.sub.on) of the liquid crystal cell (LC) such that the temporal position of the times of the high transmission state (T.sub.on) within a period of times of the high transmission state (T.sub.on) and times of the low transmission state (T.sub.off) may be altered continuously or discontinuously; and/or the duration of a period of times of the high transmission state (T.sub.on) and times of the low transmission state (T.sub.off) may be altered continuously or discontinuously. Such changes may be determined by a secret coding key.

A smart head-mounted device includes a first sub-eyepiece, a second sub-eyepiece, and a nose bridge. The first sub-eyepiece includes a first eyepiece frame and a first temple, and the first eyepiece frame has a first connecting portion; the second sub-eyepiece includes a second eyepiece frame and a second temple, and the second eyepiece frame has a second connecting portion; the nose bridge has a third connecting portion and a fourth connecting portion; and the first eyepiece frame is detachably connected to the nose bridge via the first connecting portion and the third connecting portion, and the second eyepiece frame is detachably connected to the nose bridge via the second connecting portion and the fourth connecting portion.

A tuneable contact lens (100), wherein the contact lens comprises a central region (108). The central region has a circumferential wall and an anterior surface having an external curvature. The contact lens also comprises an inflatable ring (106) arranged around the circumferential wall of the central region, and at least one fluid reservoir (104) in fluid connection with the inflatable ring. The at least one fluid reservoir comprises a pump. When fluid is pumped from the at least one fluid reservoir to the inflatable ring, the inflatable ring inflates and the external curvature of anterior portion of the central region is changed.

An electronic device comprises a distance detecting sensor for detecting a distance from a user to a target object, a light detecting sensor for detecting light intensity of external environment, a nine-axis sensor for detecting the user's motion, a control unit for determining whether the user is at high risk of vision loss based on the distance information output from the distance detecting sensor, the light intensity information output from the light detecting sensor, and the motion information output from the nine-axis sensor, and generating an alert command when it is determined that the user is at high risk of vision loss; and a vibrator for providing an alert based on the alert command output from a control unit.

Eyewear providing an interactive augmented reality experience between two users of eyewear devices to perform a shared group object manipulation task. During the shared group task, each user of the eyewear controls movement of a respective virtual object in a virtual scene based on a portion of the virtual scene the user is gazing at. Each user can also generate a verbal command to generate a virtual object that interacts with one or more of the other virtual objects.
