Eyewear with a slot ring antenna generating E-fields that are orthogonal to each other at a frequency. The slot ring antenna has a first portion including an inner ring and an outer ring configured to generate a first E-field in a first direction, and a second portion having a respective inner ring and the outer right configured to generate a second E-field in a second direction that is orthogonal to the first E-field. The outer ring encompasses the respective inner rings, where a first slot is defined between the respective inner ring and the outer ring. A second slot is encompassed by the respective inner ring, and it may be a cutout. The slot ring antenna encompasses eyewear optical assemblies. In one example, the slot antenna first portion encompasses a first optical assembly, and the second portion encompasses the second optical assembly. The outer ring may comprise of a common ground plane, which ground plane may extend proximate a bridge of the eyewear. The two portions of the antenna co-exist in very close proximity to each other and support the same frequency band with minimal coupling to each other due to the orthogonal E-fields.

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 eyewear system including an eyewear frame and an application module. The eyewear frame including a docking station, and an electronic connector including a first set of preconfigured application connection points. The application module adapted to be mounted to the docking station, and including an electronic device configured to perform a function, and a second set of preconfigured application connection points corresponding to at least some of the first set of preconfigured application connection points. The second set of preconfigured application connection points including at least two different sub-function connections used to support the function of the electronic device.

An augmented reality display system includes a pair of variable focus lens elements that sandwich a waveguide stack. One of the lens elements is positioned between the waveguide stack and a user's eye to correct for refractive errors in the focusing of light projected from the waveguide stack to that eye. The lens elements may also be configured to provide appropriate optical power to place displayed virtual content on a desired depth plane. The other lens element is between the ambient environment and the waveguide stack, and is configured to provide optical power to compensate for aberrations in the transmission of ambient light through the waveguide stack and the lens element closest to the eye. In addition, an eye-tracking system monitors the vergence of the user's eyes and automatically and continuously adjusts the optical powers of the pair of lens elements based on the determined vergence of those eyes.

There is provided a wearable heads-up display (WHUD) having a glasses frame, which may comprise a front frame and first and second temple arms each coupled to the front frame. At least a portion of the first temple arm may be foldable relative to the front frame at a first interface disposed at a first distance along the first temple arm away from the front frame. Similarly, at least a portion of the second temple arm may be foldable relative to the front frame at a second interface disposed at a second distance along the second temple arm away from the front frame. The first distance may be different than the second distance. The WHUD may also include a light engine and a display optic both mounted to the glasses frame, and used to form an image viewable by a user of the WHUD.

Devices, methods and systems related to an adjustable polarization filter assembly are described that can be implemented as part of an eyewear or another viewing device to provide the ability to tune the polarization of light that is received based on user and environmental inputs. One example device includes a first rotatable polarization filter that is configured to change a polarization of the incident light, and a second rotatable polarization filter that is also configured to rotate and modify a polarization of light that is incident thereon. The two filters together, via rotation of the first and the second filters, can block any eigenpolarization state on a Poincaré sphere and transmit an orthogonal polarization state. The described devices provide improved viewing capability in different environmental conditions, such as under water, in haze or fog, in outdoor and indoor environments, and in day and night times.

A contact lens may include a body of contact lens material extending between a first surface and a second surface. An electromechanical component may be supported in the contact lens material between the first surface and the second surface. A support comprising a plurality of pillars may be formed of the contact lens material and may extend from at least one of the first surface and the second surface to the electromechanical component.

Therapeutic Eyewear patent introduces new functionality for the eyewear frame (prescription frames, sunglasses, goggles) —the delivery of CBD or other therapeutic medicine via infused pads located anywhere on the frame, primarily those parts of the frame in contact with the wearer's skin.

Examples are disclosed that relate to arranging electrical contacts on a hinge of a wearable device. One example provides a wearable device comprising a frame, a first temple piece, a second temple piece, a first hinge connecting the first temple piece to the frame, a second hinge connecting the second temple piece to the frame, and a first contact and a second contact arranged on one or more of the first hinge and the second hinge, the first contact and the second contact being configured to connect with external circuitry.
