Hardware architecture for modularized eyewear systems, apparatuses, and methods
Systems, apparatuses, and methods are taught that provide reconfigurable components for eyewear devices. A reconfigurable component for use in an eyewear device includes an embedded electronics system. The embedded electronics system is configured for wireless communication and for processing sensor signals. The embedded electronics system is embedded into a component of the eyewear device. A plurality of sensors is embedded into one or more of the reconfigurable component and the eyewear device. The plurality is in electrical communication with the embedded electronics system. The embedded electronic system further includes a processor. The processor is configured to receive outputs from the plurality of sensors and to determine a system control parameter from an output of at least one sensor of the plurality of sensors.
WEARABLE DEVICES
The present disclosure provides a wearable device, the wearable device comprising a deflector structure configured to be worn on a head of a user, wherein the deflector structure may include a first connecting section, a second connecting section, and a concave section. The first connecting section, the concave section, and the second connecting section may be connected in sequence. The concave section has a downward depression relative to the deflector structure. A first microphone may be configured to collect a sound signal, the first microphone may be located at the concave section.
Oxygen delivery apparatus using eyeglass frames
An oxygen delivery apparatus wearable by user includes a frame including nose pads connected to a bridge portion, an oxygen inlet defined by one of the nose pads, an oxygen inlet defined by the frame, and a hollow channel contained by the frame. The oxygen inlet and oxygen outlet are in fluid communication via the hollow channel. The frame can be formed as a monolithic structure using additive manufacturing. A nasal prong can be connected to the oxygen outlet such that a prong outlet of the prong is in fluid communication with the hollow channel. The prong outlet is positioned within a nostril of the user during use of the apparatus. A method of fabricating the frame includes obtaining measurement information for at least one of a head feature or facial characteristic of the user and generating a digital model of the oxygen delivery apparatus using the measurement information.

Eye Glass Shield Device
An eye glass shield includes a goggle frame having a center. A lens is positioned in the center of the goggle frame and is constructed of a transparent material. A pair of temples comprising of a left temple and a right temple is coupled to the goggle frame. The left temple is coupled to a left edge of the goggle frame, and the right temple is coupled to a right edge of the goggle frame. A pair of temple clips is coupled to a respective one of the pair of temples. A top base is coupled to a top edge of the goggle frame and protruding there from. A bottom base is coupled to a bottom edge of the goggle frame and extending there from. A cut-out in the goggle frame creates a bridge in the top center of the goggle frame.
Bone conduction communication system and method of operation
A method for operating a bone conduction communication system can include establishing a communicable connection, operating a transducer in an input mode wherein the bone conduction transducers are configured to detect a vibration associated with a bone of the user; transmitting an audio signal over the communicable connection; and operating the transducers responsive to the audio signal.
Wearable heads-up display with optical path fault detection
A wearable heads-up display includes a power source, laser sources, and a lightguide. A photodetector is positioned to detect an intensity of a test light emitted at a perimeter of the lightguide from an optical path within the lightguide. A laser safety circuit provides a control to reduce or shut off a supply of electrical power from the power source to the laser sources in response to an output signal from the photodetector indicating that the detected intensity is below a threshold.
EYEWEAR EYE-TRACKING USING OPTICAL WAVEGUIDE
Eyewear having an optical waveguide communicating infrared light from a remote infrared emitter in the eyewear to an optical output coupler that uniformly illuminates an eye for tracking eye movement of a user. An optical input coupler couples a light beam emitted by the remote infrared emitter into the waveguide. The remote infrared emitter simplifies industrial design and is a single light source. The remote infrared emitter is not in a peripheral vision of a user's eye and improves a cosmetic impact.
Eyeglasses accessory for eyeglasses retention including medially angled retainer and associated methods
The accessory eyeglasses retention device secures eyeglasses to a wearer's head. The accessory eyeglasses retention device includes an elongated body extending between a front end and a back end, and an adjustment mechanism, including a canal within the elongated body, and configured to directly and firmly grip a temple of the eyeglasses and adjustably position the elongated body relative to the temple. An angled retainer is at the back end of the elongated body, extending and angled in a medial direction towards a user's head and to contact the user's head when the eyeglasses are worn on the wearer's head, and configured to securely retain the eyeglasses in a desired location on the wearer's head.
