US Patent 10962809 Eyewear device with finger activated touch sensor

An eyewear device includes a frame, a temple connected to a lateral side of the frame, a processor, and an image display. The eyewear device further includes a touch sensor. The touch sensor includes an input surface and a sensor array that is coupled to the input surface to receive at least one finger contact inputted from a user. The sensor array can be a capacitive array or a resistive array. A sensing circuit is configured to measure voltage to track the at least one finger contact on the input surface. The processor of the eyewear device can identify a finger gesture based on at least one detected touch event, and adjust an image presented on the image display based on the identified finger gesture.
