    Abstract: Disclosed is a providing visual assistance using a head-worn device including one or more display devices and one or more cameras. The method comprises capturing a forward visual field using at least one of the cameras and displaying a portion of the forward visual field in a peripheral field of view using one or more of the display devices. The method may provide improved visual perception for people with macular degeneration. The method may include mapping a central portion of the forward visual field to a near-peripheral field of view, wherein the mapped central portion is displayed in a peripheral field of view using a forward display device of the head-worn device. A portion of the forward visual field may also be displayed in a peripheral field of view using a peripheral display device of the head-worn device.

    Abstract: A method of providing prescription glasses to a user according to their vision prescription includes performing an eye test using a display device of a head-worn device to determine the user's vision prescription. A selection of available glasses frames are displayed on an associated portable device and user selection of a glasses frame is received using the portable device. An AR model of the selected glasses frame is displayed on an image of the user captured by a camera of the portable device. Final user selection of a glasses frame is received, and the user's vision prescription and an identifier of the finally-selected glasses frame are transmitted to at least one vendor of optical prescription services.

    Abstract: An eyewear having an electronic processor configured to identify a hand gesture including a sign language, and to generate speech that is indicative of the identified hand gesture. The electronic processor uses a convolutional neural network (CNN) to identify the hand gesture by matching the hand gesture in the image to a set of hand gestures, wherein the set of hand gestures is a library of hand gestures stored in a memory. The hand gesture can include a static hand gesture, and a moving hand gesture. The electronic processor is configured to identify a word from a series of hand gestures.
