Publication number: 20260072861Abstract: An eyewear device that includes a plurality of SoCs that share processing workload, and a USB port configured to perform low-power debugging and automation of the plurality of SoCs, such as using either a Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter (UART) or a Serial Wire Debug (SWD). The eyewear includes a USB hub configured such that the USB port can simultaneously communicate with the plurality of SoCs. The USB hub can be shut down to disable the USB hub, and all the SoCs can enter their low-power modes without being kept awake by a persistent USB connection. The eyewear includes a first switch and a control logic, wherein the control logic controls the first switch and enables the USB port to perform low-power debugging and automation of the SoCs. The eyewear further includes a second switch, wherein the control logic controls the second switch to enable the USB port to perform low-power debugging and automation of the SoCs via a processor, or to enable the USB port to control each of the SoCs.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2025Publication date: March 12, 2026Inventors: Alex Feinman, Jason Heger, Shaheen Moubedi, Gerald Nilles, John Recchio, Praveen Babu Vadivelu

Publication number: 20250362531Abstract: A head-worn device is presented, featuring an intuitive power control mechanism based on the device's physical hinge states. The device includes a pair of hinges, each connecting a temple piece to the frame, capable of transitioning between open and closed positions. Sensors, such as Hall effect sensors, detect these positions and output signals accordingly. A hardware logic circuit receives the signals, controlling the device's power state-activating when both hinges are open and deactivating when closed. The system also incorporates hardware security circuitry that forcibly disables hardware components like cameras and microphones in the inactive state, ensuring user privacy. This power control mechanism is designed to be robust against unintended activations and integrates seamlessly with the user's natural interactions with the eyewear, offering a secure, convenient, and user-friendly experience.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2025Publication date: November 27, 2025Inventors: Shaheen Moubedi et al., Mathias Andreas Hintermann, John Recchio

Publication number: 20240372264Abstract: A device having a dual-inverted L antenna (DILA) and an LC tank circuit configured to improve specific absorption rate (SAR) hotspots. The SAR hotspots are split between a first aperture defined between the DILA and a daughter printed circuit board (PCB), and the second aperture defined between the daughter PCB and a battery casing. A main PCB is coupled to battery by a flexible circuit board (FCB). The DILA is configured to radiate RF energy at a first frequency, and the LC tank circuit is configured to radiate RF energy at a second frequency to improve bandwidth.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2024Publication date: November 7, 2024Inventors: Ugur Olgun, John Recchio, Chukwubuikem Marcel Okoli, Stoyan Hristov

Publication number: 20240280355Abstract: A system for correcting for frame bending of an augmented reality system is provided. A combination of strain gauges and visual inertial odometry is used to determine strains in the frame. An initial model between strain gauge measurements and actual frame spatial relationships is based on finite element analysis or calibration. During an initial visual inertial odometry data calculation phase, the augmented reality system calculates bending or strains of the frame using strain data from the strain gauges mounted to the frame. Subsequent visual inertial odometry data calculations are used to generate a corrected frame model of the frame. The corrected frame model is used for calculating corrected tracking data and corrected virtual overlays that are used to generate virtual overlays used in an AR experience provided by the augmented reality system.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2023Publication date: August 22, 2024Inventors: Matthias Kalkgruber, Tiago Miguel Pereira Torres, Chao Chen, Jason Heger, John Recchio, Mark Kraz, Michael Ryner
