The LEDs are positioned to illuminate the support structure according to a lighting scheme.
Claims21
Eyewear comprising:
- an optical element;
- a camera;
- electronic components;
- a support structure configured to support the optical element, the camera, and the electronic components;
- and
- light emitting diodes (LEDs) coupled to the electronic components and embedded within the support structure to illuminate the support structure from the inside, the LEDs positioned to illuminate the support structure according to a lighting scheme;
- wherein the electronic components are configured to illuminate the LEDs according to the lighting scheme in response to a trigger signal detected by the electronic components such that the illumination of the LEDs is synchronized with captured images or video from the camera.
4 more elements
An eyewear control method for illuminate eyewear according to a lighting scheme, the method comprising:
- detecting, by electronic components in a support structure of the eyewear, a trigger signal instructing the electronic components to illuminate LEDs in the support structure of the eyewear;
- and
- in response to receiving the trigger signal, illuminating, by the electronic components, the LEDs in the support structure of the eyewear according to a lighting scheme, such that the illumination of the LEDs is synchronized with captured images or video from a camera supported by the support structure of the eyewear.
