Abstract
The present invention provides head-mounted systems and devices for capturing an image of a user's face. In particular, the present invention provides systems and devices comprising: a) a head-mounted frame component configured to be mounted on the head of a user (e.g., hat, head band, glasses, goggles, etc.) and b) an extending component that is moveable between a first position in or adjacent to the head-mounted frame component and a second position non-adjacent to the head-mounted frame component that allows a camera (or mirror) on the extending component to capture an image (e.g., picture or video) of the user's face.
Claims18
A device for capturing an image of a user's face comprising:
- a) a head-mounted frame component configured to be mounted on the head of a user;
- and
- b) an extending component connected to said head-mounted frame component,
- wherein said extending component comprises;
- i) a main rod,
- ii) a housing component attached to said main rod,
- iii) a camera located in or attached to said housing component;
- wherein said extending component is moveable between:
- a first position in or adjacent to said head-mounted frame component, wherein said first position allows said camera to capture what said user is seeing, and
- a second position non-adjacent to said head-mounted frame component, wherein said second position allows said camera to capture an image of said user's face when said head-mounted frame component is attached to said head of said user.
