Abstract:
An eyewear device with flexible frame for Augmented Reality (AR) is disclosed. At least two sensors and a display are mounted on the flexible frame. When in use, the real time geometry of the eyewear device may change from factory calibrated geometry, resulting in low quality AR rendering. A modeling module is provided to model the real time geometry of the eyewear device on the fly using sensor information of the at least two sensors. The modeled real time geometry is then provided to a rendering module to accurately display the AR to the user.
