1. Eyewear, comprising:
- a supporting frame for the eyewear;
a radiation detector to capture data, the radiation detector being an electrical component that is at least partially in the supporting frame;
an electronic circuit provided at or within the supporting frame and electrically connected to the radiation detector, the electronic circuit configured to process at least the data captured by the radiation detector;
a communication module operable to transmit data to or from the eyewear, the communication module being provided within the supporting frame;
a switching device that is coupled to the supporting frame and at least partially exposed external to the supporting frame, the switching device being configured to distinguish whether the supporting frame is in a wearable position by a user or in a collapsed position in which the supporting frame is not in a wearable position; and
a controller operatively connected to the electronic circuit, the communication module and the switching device, the controller being provided within the supporting frame.

Abstract
Eyewear having monitoring capability, such as for radiation, is disclosed. Radiation, such as ultraviolet (UV) radiation, infrared (IR) radiation or light, can be measured by a detector. The measured radiation can then be used in providing radiation-related information to a user of the eyewear. Advantageously, the user of the eyewear is able to easily monitor their exposure to radiation.

2. An eyewear device, comprising:
-
a frame configured to hold one or more optical elements, at least one temple connected to the frame at a joint such that the temple is movable relative to the frame between a collapsed position and a wearable position, wherein with the temple in the wearable position, the eyewear device can be wearable by a user; at least one electronic component provided internal to the frame; and a switching device that is provided proximate to the joint and that is configured to distinguish whether the temple is in the wearable position or in the collapsed position. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

17. An eyewear device comprising:
-
a frame configured to hold one or more optical elements, at least one temple connected to the frame at a joint such that the temple is movable relative to the frame between a collapsed position and a wearable position, wherein with the temple in the wearable position, the eyewear device can be wearable by a user; electronic components comprising at least a first electronic component internal to the frame and a second electronic component internal to the temple; and a switching device that is provided proximate to the joint and that is configured to distinguish whether the temple is in the wearable position or in the collapsed position. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
