First Claim
1. An electronic device, comprising:
- a frame configured to be worn on a head of a user, the frame including a central frame support having first and second ends, a first side arm extending from the first end of the center frame support and a second side arm extending from the second end of the center frame support;
a camera affixed to the frame and configured to capture real-world images viewed by the user;
an input device affixed to the frame and configured for receiving from the user an input associated with the camera, the input device configured to provide tactile feedback to the user;
a lens element disposed within the frame, the lens element being at least partially transparent and configured to display captured images and information related to the camera; and
an outer housing positioned at a free end of the first side arm opposite the input device, the outer housing containing electronic components for the electronic device, and the outer housing configured to add weight to a rearward portion of the frame positioned behind an ear of the user so as to counterbalance a weight of the input device.

Abstract
An electronic device including a frame configured to be worn on the head of a user is disclosed. The frame can include a bridge configured to be supported on the nose of the user and a brow portion coupled to and extending away from the bridge and configured to be positioned over a side of a brow of the user. The frame can further include an arm coupled to the brow portion and extending to a free end. The first arm can be positionable over a temple of the user with the free end disposed near an ear of the user. The device can also include a transparent display affixed to the frame adjacent the brow portion and an input affixed to the frame and configured for receiving from the user an input associated with a function. Information related to the function can be presentable on the display.
