Abstract

Eyeglasses include a left lens, a right lens and an IMU sensor and a GPS unit. A camera and a memory are coupled to the eyeglasses. A processor is connected to the IMU, the GPS unit and the at least one camera and is adapted to recognize objects by analyzing image data based on the stored object data and inertial measurement data or location data. The processor is also adapted to determine a desirable event based on the object, previously determined user data, and a time. The processor is also adapted to determine a destination based on the determined desirable event and determine a navigation path for navigating the eyeglasses to the destination based on the determined destination, image data, and inertial measurement data or location data. The processor is also adapted to determine output data based on the determined navigation path. A speaker is also provided.
