Abstract

Spectacles, comprising a face defining a passage for a nose of a user, may be provided with a lens-type optical unit. Internal edges may define the face, the edges being respectively turned toward lateral edges of the face. The spectacles may comprise a module for emitting visual information and a geometric element for returning the converted visual information, including towards a target zone of the optical unit. The emitting module may be placed at the bottom or top portion of an internal edge of the face, whereas a geometric return element may be placed in the top or bottom portion. The return element may be placed at the top portion of one internal edge when the emitting module is placed at the bottom portion of the one internal edge. And the return element may be placed at the bottom portion when the emitting module is placed at the top portion.

Claims (24)

1 . An imaging device for displaying information on a wearable glass, the imaging device comprising:

a receiver of the information;

at least one of an optical transmitter of the information or a reflector;

at least one of an electronic circuit or a power source;

a detector;

one or more sensors; and

a fastener configured to couple the imaging device to the wearable glass, wherein the coupling is removably performed at one or more complementary parts associated with the wearable glass,

wherein:

the fastener comprises a metal plate configured to be magnetically coupled to the one or more complementary parts;

the metal plate comprises one or more openings; and

the wearable glass comprises one or more protrusions configured to removably couple to the one or more openings such that a substantially rigid connection is caused, each of the one or more protrusions being configured to pass light therethrough to the one or more sensors.

2 . The imaging device of claim 1 , wherein one or more of the imaging device or the wearable glass comprises a sensor configured to detect that an assembly of the imaging device and the wearable device is worn by a user, and

wherein the electronic circuit is configured to switch the imaging device on responsive to the assembly being detected to be worn.

3 . The imaging device of claim 2 , wherein the sensor is one of a capacitive sensor or an electrostatic potential sensor.

4 . The imaging device of claim 1 , wherein the fastener further comprises a plurality of first parts positioned at a first edge of the imaging device, and

wherein each of the first parts is configured to be coupled to a second edge of the wearable glass.

5 . The imaging device of claim 4 , wherein the fastener further comprises a second part positioned at a third edge of the imaging device, the third edge being different from the first edge, and

wherein the second part is configured to be coupled to a fourth edge of the wearable glass.

6 . The imaging device of claim 1 , wherein the fastener further comprises a magnet configured to be magnetically coupled to the one or more complementary parts.

7 . The imaging device of claim 1 , wherein one or more of the imaging device or the wearable device comprise a sensor configured to detect that an assembly of the imaging device and the wearable device is worn by a user, and

wherein the electronic circuit is configured to switch the imaging device on responsive to the assembly being detected to be worn.

8 . The imaging device of claim 7 , wherein the sensor is one of a capacitive sensor or an electrostatic potential sensor.

9 . The imaging device of claim 1 , wherein the receiver is a wireless receiver.

10 . The imaging device of claim 1 , wherein the wearable glass comprises means for removably coupling the wearable glass to one or more portions of a user.
