Abstract
A device including a frame that has first and second openings and a pair of temple arms that pivot relative to the frame. The device includes an imaging unit connected to the frame at a location adjacent to the first opening and capture images through the first opening. The device includes a mechanical switch disposed on the frame or the imaging unit adjacent to the first opening. The device includes lenses fitted within the first and second openings, and the lens that fits within the first opening includes a key interfaceable with the mechanical switch and configured to adjust firmware of the imaging unit based on physical features of the lenses upon interface with the mechanical switch.
Claims20
A device, comprising:
- a frame comprising first and second openings and a pair of temple arms that pivot relative to the frame;
- an imaging unit configured to connect to the frame at a location adjacent to the first opening and capture images through the first opening;
- a mechanical switch disposed on the frame or the imaging unit adjacent to the first opening;
- and
- lenses configured to fit within the first and second openings, wherein the lens that fits within the first opening comprises a key interfaceable with the mechanical switch and configured to adjust firmware of the imaging unit based on physical features of the lenses upon interface with the mechanical switch.
A wearable imaging device, comprising:
- a frame having openings;
- an imaging unit connected with the frame at a location adjacent to one of the openings;
- an electronics unit connected with the frame and in communication with the imaging unit;
- a mechanical switch disposed on or in the frame;
- a power source disposed on the frame and providing power to the imaging unit and to the electronics unit;
- and
- a pair of lenses disposed within the openings, one of the lenses of the pair of lenses comprising a key interfaceable with the mechanical switch and configured to control firmware settings of the imaging unit based on physical features of the pair of lenses.
A wearable imaging device, comprising:
- a frame having openings;
- an imaging unit comprising an imaging lens configured to capture images through one of the openings;
- a communications interface in communication with the imaging unit, the communications interface configured to receive commands from a user to operate the imaging unit;
- a power source configured to supply power to the imaging unit and/or the communications interface;
- and
- frame lenses disposed within the openings, one of the frame lenses comprising a lens housing configured to seal the imaging lens against an external environment.
