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 may be configured to magnetically engage with the peripheral device such that, in a resting, coupled position, respective components of magnetic retention force are provided in at least two axial directions that are orthogonal to each other; i.e., a first component of magnetic retention force is provided in a first (horizontal) axial direction and a second component of magnetic retention force is provided in a second (vertical) axial direction.

An integrated binocular augmented reality smart glass, which comprises an integrated structure of glass temples, an imaging system, a nose pad, a battery module and a glass frame, and a circuit board processor module and a control system are integrated therein. The integrated binocular augmented reality smart glass has a small volume, a light weight and a strong mobile flexibility and is convenient in usage and interaction, and can be worn stably for a long time under various application scenarios without generating discomfort. The imaging system of the integrated binocular augmented reality smart glass is a multi-layer structure, and comprises filter glasses, display glasses and functional glasses, where the filter glasses and the functional glasses are respectively located at two sides of the display glasses and are mounted on the glass frame.

The present invention relates to a low-cost, magnetically detachable, durable, and flexible opthalmic shield for use with customized eyeglasses or eye goggles. It provides a seal between both the shield and the eyeglass frames, and between the shield and a user’s face to adequately protect the user’s eyes from particulates, allergens, and other environmental factors.

Apparatuses, systems and methods for wearable devices such as eyewear are described. According to one embodiment, the wearable device includes a body, electronics, and a connector. The body is configured to hold one or more optical elements, the body being disposable between a collapsed condition and a wearable condition in which the device is wearable by a user to hold the one or more optical elements within user view. The electronics are carried by the body. The connector is configured to enable establishment of an electrical and/or electronic connection with the electronics via the connector, the connector being housed by the body such that the connector is substantially obscured from view when the body is in the wearable condition, and such that the connector is exposed for connective access when the body is in the collapsed condition.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to solid optical systems and methods for use in head-worn computing systems. An optical assembly may include multiple elements that are aligned relative to one another and then adhesively bonded together to preserve the alignment in an adhesively bonded optic, wherein the adhesively bonded optic includes at least one internal refractive surface and two or more internal reflective surfaces, and wherein the internal partially reflective surfaces comprise partially reflective surfaces that are protected by other elements in the adhesively bonded optic

An eyeglasses assembly comprises a frame member and a pair of temple or side pieces. The temple or side pieces are structurally connected to end or side portions of the frame member by first and second male and female connector members integrally formed upon the frame member and the temple or side pieces and without the need for auxiliary fasteners. In addition, first and second magnetic members are mounted within recessed portions of the temple or side pieces and the frame member such that when the temple or side pieces are disposed at their fully open or unfolded positions with respect to the frame members, the magnetic members maintain the temple or side members at the fully open or unfolded positions.

Wearable electronic devices, for example wearable camera systems, and methods for attaching electronic devices such as camera systems to eyewear or other wearable articles are described.

The present disclosure relates to a novel eyewear system and a method to configure the same. An eyewear system consistent with the present disclosure comprises an eyewear frame and a lens casing attached thereto. The eyewear system comprises a set of insertable lenses fitted between said eyewear frame and said lens casing. The lens casing comprises a pliable material to receive the set of insertable lenses. Further, the present disclosure provides a method for a consumer to design and order a pair of eyewear using an online system. The method may include prompting a user to choose from a plurality of unique frame options. Based on the user's selection of the frame, display to the user a plurality of lens casing options. In addition, based on the user's selection of the lens casing options, associate the selected frame and the selected lens casing with a customer order.

A glasses/cap system for separably coupling glasses to a cap and for securing the glasses to the hat in either a usage orientation or a storage orientation. The coupling components mainly consisting of complementary magnets and ferromagnetic materials located in reciprocal parts of the glasses and cap alone or in combination with push type or bungee type connectors.

A pair of projection glasses, a wearable projection apparatus, and a foldable optical engine are provided. The foldable optical engine includes a projection mechanism and a light emitting mechanism. A light input portion of the projection mechanism corresponds in position to a light output portion of the light emitting mechanism. The projection mechanism and the light emitting mechanism are pivotally connected to each other along a rotation axis so as to be rotatable relative to each other along the rotation axis. When the projection mechanism and the light emitting mechanism are rotated relative to each other to cause the light output portion to face toward the light input portion, the light emitting mechanism is configured to emit a light beam from the light output portion toward the light input portion, so as to allow the projection mechanism to receive the light beam for projecting an image light.
