Abstract

A smart glasses system comprising a lens frame to which a pair of lenses are joined and a pair of temple frames hinged to the lens frame, wherein the temple frames include an outer cover on which an electronic component is located, an inner cover coupled to the outer cover and including a contact portion that contacts the user's skin, and a metal member having at least a portion located inside the inner cover and overlapped with the electronic component, wherein the inner cover is made of a material having a thermal conductivity smaller than that of the outer cover, can prevent heat from being transferred to the user.

Description

Smart Glasses The present embodiments relate to smart glasses, and more specifically, to smart glasses having low thermal conductivity and enhanced strength. Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that overlays virtual objects onto the real world seen by the user. It is also called Mixed Reality (MR) because it combines a virtual world with real-time additional information to display a single image. As a hybrid VR system that fuses real and virtual environments, research and development has been underway since the late 1990s, primarily in the United States. Augmented reality, a concept that complements the real world with a virtual world, uses a virtual environment created with computer graphics, but the real environment is the main focus. Computer graphics play the role of providing additional information necessary for the real environment. This means that by overlapping a 3D virtual image onto the real-world image the user is viewing, the distinction between the real environment and the virtual screen becomes blurred. Augmented reality technology, which combines the real environment with virtual objects, allows users to view the actual surroundings, providing a greater sense of realism and additional information. For example, when a smartphone camera is pointed at the surroundings, information such as the location of nearby animals and phone numbers is displayed as a 3D image. Augmented reality is utilized in remote medical diagnostic broadcasting, broadcasting, architectural design, and manufacturing process management. With the recent widespread adoption of smartphones, augmented reality has entered a full-scale commercialization phase, and various products are being developed in the gaming and mobile solution industries, as well as in the education sector. One way to realize augmented reality is for users to wear smart glasses. Smart glasses generally contain technical components such as small electronic parts, sensors, and displays; while these components require little power, some of them can generate heat during operation. Therefore, it is necessary to minimize heat generation problems depending on the design of the smart glasses and the efficiency of the components.
