1. Eyewear, comprising:
- a front structure;
first and second side structures coupled to opposite sides of the front structure;
a battery embedded in at least one of the first and second side structures;
a circuit board at least partially embedded in at least one of the first and second side structures;
a controller connected to the circuit board and electrically connectable to the battery;
a camera at least partially embedded in said eyewear and electrically connected to the controller; and
at least one sensor embedded in said eyewear and electrically connected to the controller.

Abstract
Techniques for providing eyewear with electrical components are disclosed. The electrical components can provide electrical technology to eyewear (e.g., eyeglasses) without having to substantially compromise aesthetic design principles of the eyewear. Often, the electrical components can be attached to the eyewear as an after-market enhancement. The electrical components can operate independently or together with other electrical components provided elsewhere.
