An electronic eyewear device comprising:
- a structure including a frame that defines a display lens area and a free lens area, the structure being wearable to position the display lens area across from a first eye of a user and the free lens area across from a second eye of the user;
- a display assembly including a display surface provided in the display lens area;
- and
- a panel to attenuate light provided in the free lens area, wherein a position of the panel with respect to the free lens area matches a position of the display surface with respect to the display lens area.
An accessory device for an electronic eyewear device, the electronic eyewear device comprising a display device to be positioned in front of first eye to display an image that then appears superimposed on a field of view as partially seen through the display device,
- the accessory device comprising:
- a panel formed of material to attenuate light;
- and
- a coupling mechanism to couple the panel to a structure of the electronic eyewear device to position the panel in a lens area of the structure corresponding to a second eye, the panel to attenuate light from a same area of the field of view over which the displayed image is superimposed.
An electronic eyewear assembly, the electronic eyewear assembly comprising:
- an eyewear device including a first lens and a second lens;
- a display component coupled to the eyewear device to generate display content on a display surface positioned on an interior of the first lens;
- and
- a panel coupled to the eyewear device to attenuate light directed through an exterior of the second lens, the panel corresponding to the display surface in size and in position relative to each respective lens.
