Zusammenfassung:Electronic eyewear for cough. In one embodiment, the eyewear includes a gyroscope to help identify a relative orientation of the eyewear. In another embodiment, the eyewear is configured to determine its absolute orientation based on, for example, calibration or a compass. In one embodiment, the eyewear includes microphones to determine location of a sound source relative to the eyewear. The sound can be from a cough. Based on relative magnitudes of the outputs of the different microphones, the eyewear can determine the location of the sound source relative to location and orientation of the eyewear. In one embodiment, the eyewear includes a database of sound sources. Based on data in the database, the eyewear can determine additional information regarding the sound, such as it being a cough and it being from the user of the eyewear. Then the eyewear can recommend to the user a course of action.
