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.

Embodiments of systems and methods related to the automatic adjustment of auto-darkening filter device parameters in response to settings of a welding system are disclosed. One embodiment includes a head-mounted device having a wireless receiver, an auto-darkening device, and a selection device. The wireless receiver is configured to receive wirelessly transmitted communication signals from an arc welding system which represent a present welding current setting and a present welding mode setting of the arc welding system. The selection device is configured to automatically select a shade and a sensitivity of the auto-darkening device in response to the present welding current setting and the present welding mode setting. The auto-darkening device is configured to sense the presence of an arc, transition from an un-darkened state to a darkened state in response to the arc, and transition from the darkened state to the un-darkened state when the arc is no longer present.

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.

Provided is a light attached to a helmet where the light does not move when a face shield of the helmet is rotated up or down.

A flip-to-wear eye shield system is provided. By integrating a hinge into elements of the frame and/or the lens, the eye shield can be manufactured and assembled more quickly and with less costs. In an embodiment, a lens may click (or snap) onto molded posts of a frame in a substantially flat position. An integrated living hinge in the frame may bend to allow the lens to flip downwards toward the frame to a second position for use. The posts may also click (or snap) into place in an underside of the frames. In another embodiment, a lens may click (or snap) onto molded posts of a flame in a substantially flat position. An integrated living hinge, formed by notches in the lens, may allow the lens to bend to flip downwards to the frame to a second position for use. A dispenser allows storing the eye shields in the flat position and dispensing in the second position for use.

Eyewear is provided including a frame, and a camera connected with the frame, in which the camera is configured to be controlled by a remote controller. The camera may be configured to capture video and/or a photo. The eyewear may include data storage, and the camera may be connected to the data storage. A wrist watch may be configured to act both as a time piece and a controller of the camera. The eyewear may also include a heads up display and/or a video file player. The eyewear may also include an electro-active lens.

Disclosed are goggles. The goggles are provided so that they comprise: a main body unit worn on the face of a user; a lens unit that is coupled to the main body unit and has a fastening protrusion formed to protrude toward the main body unit; and a fastening unit that has a fastening recess formed therein and is coupled to the main body to lock and unlock the fastening protrusion, wherein the fastening unit includes a body part movably coupled to the main body unit and a guide protrusion for guiding the moving direction of the body part, the main body unit has a guide hole formed at a position corresponding to the guide protrusion, the guide protrusion being received in the guide hole, and the fastening unit further included a protrusion part coupled to the body part to push the fastening protrusion outward such that the lens unit is separated from the main body unit when the fastening protrusion is unlocked according to the movement of the body part into the main body unit.
