BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
Some preferred embodiments of the invention will now be described by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawing, of which: Figure 1 is a perspective view of a person wearing eyewear. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
As shown, the eyewear 1 has a pair of glass lenses 2 which are secured in a frame 3. The eyewear 1 has a camera 4 which is able to take photos and record high definition videos. The eyewear 1 also has an adjustable high definition optical display 5 which sits just above the right eye of the athlete 6 (e.g. a rugby or soccer player) when in use. The camera 4 and display 5 are both powered by a battery (not visible) which is housed within the frame 3 of the eyewear 1. Also housed within the frame 3 is a computer processor and a transmitting and receiving component (e.g. Bluetooth, Wi-Fi etc) which is capable of transmitting and receiving visual and audio data. The eyewear 1 has an earpiece and a microphone (not shown) to enable the athlete 6 to talk to other people. In a preferred embodiment the eyewear 1 has a physiological sensor or sensors (not shown) to detect a user's body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, hydration and electrolyte levels etc.
In use an athlete 6 who is waiting to enter a sports game (e.g. when seated on the side line or in a changing room at half time) such as rugby, soccer, netball, basketball, hockey, American football etc puts on the eyewear 1 and turns it on. Once the eyewear 1 is on the coach or coaching staff can have a conversation with the athlete 6 via the earpiece and microphone and give him or her instructions or information about the game. The coach can also send visual data (via phones, iPads TM, and laptops etc) such as tactical diagrams and text messages to the eyewear 1. The athlete 6 can view this data on the optical display 5. The messages and data received and viewed by the athlete 6 can be personalised and tailored to that individual athlete 6 and/or can be group messages wherein all the side line athletes 6 wearing the eyewear 1 receive the
same message (e.g. information relating to the game plan etc). In a particularly preferred embodiment the sports game is a team sport.
The physiological sensors on the eyewear 1 take measurements (e.g. heart rate, temperature etc) from the athlete 6 and these are sent to the coaching staff or to medical personnel to evaluate the readiness of the athlete 6. When the athlete 6 is sitting on the side line watching the game the camera 4 can be used to record a video which can be sent to the coaching staff to enable them to get an alternative view of the game.
The eyewear 1 used could be Google T glasses and although the eyewear 1 in the embodiment shown is in the form of glasses, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art the eyewear 1 can be in different forms such as goggles, contact lens, retinal implants etc.
While some preferred forms of the invention have been described by way of example it should be appreciated that modifications and improvements can occur without departing from the scope of the following claims.
