Smart eyewear is defined as eyewear incorporating a near-to-eye display. As used herein, near-to-eye display means a display, device, or system, such as a retinal projector, virtual retinal display, visualization element, head-mounted display, heads-up display, or other near-to-eye system, typically worn on the head of a user that generates an image near the eye. In a smart eyewear configuration, a display device is often mounted adjacent to an edge of each of the wearer’s eyes and an image is typically displayed in the center of each lens. The location of the displayed image, therefore, forces the wearer to gaze in a direction to view the image generated by the display. Typically positioned near the user’s eye, the display is aligned to the central region of the user’s field of view to allow review of the displayed information with little or no head movement. This enables the user to view the display while also viewing the area outside the central region and interacting with the surrounding environment. In another embodiment, the displayed image is aligned to a region other than the central region of the user’s field of view. 5, record 2, English, - near%2Dto%2Deye%20display

Near-eye display devices are configured to present images to a user via a display that is positioned close to the user’s eyes. For example, a head-mounted augmented reality display device may be worn on a user’s head to position a near-eye display directly in front of a user’s eyes. A near-eye display may be at least partially see-through to allow a user to view a real-world background in combination with displayed virtual objects. This may allow virtual objects to be displayed such that the virtual objects appear to exist within the real-world environment. 6, record 2, English, - near%2Dto%2Deye%20display

The technology provides one or more embodiments of a near-eye display(NED) device system. An embodiment of a NED device system comprises a near-eye display device including a near-eye support structure and a near-eye display(NED) supported by the near-eye support structure and having a display field of view. The NED system further comprises an image generation unit supported by the near-eye support structure which outputs image data which is optically coupled to the near-eye display(NED). 4, record 2, English, - near%2Dto%2Deye%20display

La Gazelle est spécialement conçue pour la pratique des sports dynamiques, comme la course ou le vélo. Un pivot vertical, situé à l'intérieur du joint qui relie la branche à la monture, permet un ajustement confortable sur toutes les têtes. Les branches de la lunette viennent se serrer le long de la tête, ce qui assure une stabilité accrue. Le pont, partie sur laquelle la lunette repose sur le nez, est fait de silicone malléable, ce qui permet à l'utilisateur d'obtenir un meilleur ajustement. 2, record 3, French, - pivot%20d%27ajustement
