1. An eyewear system for a user, comprising:
- an eyeglass frame including a first and a second temple, at least one electrical component and at least one electrical connector;
a cord; and
a base device having at least one sensor,wherein when the eyewear system is worn by the user, the cord is configured to provide electrical connection between the sensor of the base device to the at least one electrical component of the eyeglass frame via the electrical connector, andwherein the eyeglass frame can be separately worn by the user without the cord and the base device.
