    Abstract: Eyewear having a frame, a hinge, and a hyperextendable temple. An extender is coupled to the hinge and the temple, and the extender extends with respect to the hinge allowing hyperextension of the temple with respect to the frame. A cam is configured to leverage the temple away from the frame during hyperextension and reduce wear. A cosmetic trim may include a recess that receives a protrusion of the frame in the open position, and which protrusion moves out of the recess during hyperextension and creates the cam.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: Eyewear having a frame, a hinge, and a hyperextendable temple. An extender is coupled to the hinge and the temple, and the extender extends with respect to the hinge allowing hyperextension of the temple with respect to the frame. The extender may include a bushing and a spring that allows the temple hyperextension, and which also creates a bias force to urge the temple against a user's head during use.

    Abstract: Eyewear having a frame, a hinge, and a hyperextendable temple having a flexible printed circuit (FPC) including service loops. An extender is coupled to the hinge and the temple, and the extender extends with respect to the hinge allowing hyperextension of the temple with respect to the frame. A first service loop allows extension of the FPC when the temple rotates about the hinge, and a second service loop allows the temple to be radially extended away from the hinge.
