Patent number: 11934038Abstract: Eyewear devices including a tether and methods for identifying proper installation of the tether are disclosed. An eyewear device includes transmission lines extending through the temples to electrical and electronic components positioned adjacent to edges of a frame. A tether is attached to the temples to enable power and communication flow between the electrical and electronic components rather than through the frame. Proper installation is identified based on communications passing between the electrical and electronic components via the tether.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2023Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: SNAP INC.Inventors: Yoav Ben-Haim, Varun Sehrawat, Teodor Dabov, John Bernard Ardisana

Publication number: 20220329776Abstract: Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for capturing and sharing visual content, especially three-dimensional video, with a plurality of users with compatible devices. The methods in some implementations include transmitting the visual content to a portable projector, generating a unique invite and broadcasting it to a plurality of eyewear devices, and projecting the visual content onto a screen for viewers who accepted the invite and are wearing a compatible eyewear device. For projection in 3D format, the eyewear devices include an active shutter mode. The portable projector may be housed in the interior of a case. In some configurations, the case interior is sized and shaped to support the projector and an eyewear device. The system may include multiple projectors at remote locations directed to project the visual content simultaneously.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2022Publication date: October 13, 2022Inventors: John Bernard Ardisana, Yoav Ben-Haim, Teodor Dabov, Varun Sehrawat
