Project Wear is a modular device that can be attached to an existing set of frames to turn them
into a pair of smart glasses. Its design incorporates Bluetooth connectivity and bone conduction
technology to allow the user to seamlessly listen to audio without having to block their ears.
This device uses Bluetooth connectivity
with AVRCP profiling. This allows for
audio streaming and basic remote
commands such as play/pause/volume
control. Its range is rated for use within
10-15 meters from the streaming
device.
Bone Conduction Technology
The device incorporates bone conduction technology to transmit sound by sending vibrations
through the bone of the users skull. Each transducer is 13mm x 5mm in size and sits just in front
of the users ear. The technology works by sending vibrations directly to the Cochlea in the inner
ear, skipping the eardrum entirely. It’s design means that the user can listen to audio from the
device without blocking the outer ear like traditional headsets.

It’s design was created to be slim and lightweight. The case body is 4mm thick and weighs less
than 10g. This allows them to be worn the entire day without getting in the way or being
uncomfortable for the user. The power and volume buttons are located on the bottom of the
body making them easily accessible and natural to press.
The device uses a microphone as its secondary form of input. This allows the user to answer calls
and use voice commands with Google Assistant, SIRI or Bixby. With a built in mic the device
becomes hands-free allowing it to be seamlessly integrated into the users glasses and daily lives.

PLA
Body
This variant is created using
polylactic acid which is a
biodegradable plastic with rigid
properties. This casing results in
noise leakage at high volumes due to
its rigid design.
TPU
Body
This variant is created using
thermoplastic polyurethane which is
a plastic with elastic properties. This
casing does a better job at absorbing
vibrations which reduces noise
leakage when used at high volumes.
