Abstract
Methods and system for creating and using graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for eyewear devices and eyewear devices including GUIs. The eyewear devices detect finger touches on a surface of the eyewear device and present GUIs on image displays of the eyewear device that are responsive to the finger touches.
Claims20
A method for controlling an eyewear device of a user, the method comprising:
- presenting a first graphical user interface (GUI) on an image display including available actions for responding to another user in response to a message from the another user within an application executing on the eyewear device;
- detecting a first finger touch on a first input surface on one side of an eyewear device;
- selecting, on the image display of the eyewear device, an available action in accordance with the detected first finger touch on the first input surface for controlling the eyewear device;
- in response to selecting the available action, present a second GUI on the image display based on a first visual perspective of the first input surface;
- detecting an activation signal from a remote accessory;
- presenting a third GUI on the image display from a second visual perspective of the remote accessory in response to the detected activation signal from the remote accessory;
- and
- adjusting the third GUI presented on the image display of the eyewear device in response to inputs from the remote accessory.

An eyewear device, comprising:
- a remote accessory configured for wireless communication;
- a support structure;
- a first input surface on a first side of the support structure;
- an image display supported by the support structure and positioned to present an image to a user;
- an image display driver coupled to the image display to control the image presented to the user;
- a memory;
- a processor coupled to the first input surface, the image display driver, and the memory;
- and
- programming in the memory, wherein execution of the programming by the processor configures the eyewear device to perform functions, including functions to:
- present a first graphical user interface (GUI) on the image display including available actions for responding to another user in response to a message from the another user within an application executing on the eyewear device;
- detect a first finger touch on the first input surface;
- select, on the image display, an available action in accordance with the detected first finger touch on the first input surface for controlling the eyewear device;
- in response to selecting the available action, present a second GUI on the image display based on a first visual perspective of the first input surface;
- detect an activation signal from the remote accessory;
- present a third GUI on the image display from a second visual perspective of the remote accessory in response to the detected activation signal from the remote accessory;
- and
- adjust the third GUI presented on the image display of the eyewear device in response to inputs from the remote accessory.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program code which, when executed, is operative to cause at least one electronic processor of an eyewear device of a user to perform the steps of:
- presenting a first graphical user interface (GUI) on an image display including available actions for responding to another user in response to a message from the another user within an application executing on the eyewear device;
- detecting a first finger touch on a first input surface on one side of an eyewear device;
- selecting, on the image display of the eyewear device, an available action in accordance with the detected first finger touch on the first input surface for controlling the eyewear device;
- in response to selecting the available action, present a second GUI on the image display based on a first visual perspective of the first input surface;
- detecting an activation signal from a remote accessory;
- presenting a third GUI on the image display from a second visual perspective of the remote accessory in response to the detected activation signal from the remote accessory;
- and
- adjusting the third GUI presented on the image display of the eyewear device in response to inputs from the remote accessory.
