Apparatuses, methods, and systems for a hinge feed antenna of eyewear, are disclosed. One apparatus includes a front frame, a temple arm, and a hinge rotatably connecting the front frame and the temple arm. For an embodiment, the temple arm includes a circuit assembly including at least a radio that supports wireless communication. For an embodiment, the front frame includes one or more antennas traces, wherein the hinge conductively connects the circuit assembly to the one or more antenna traces, and wherein the hinge in combination with the one or more antenna traces form one or more antennas for supporting the wireless communication.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems for touch pad sensors that are further operative as antennas, are disclosed. One apparatus includes a plurality of touch sensors, a controller, and a radio. The controller is operative to receive sensed signals of the plurality of touch sensors, and provide controls of the apparatus in response to the receive sensed signals of the plurality of touch sensors. The radio is operative to wirelessly communicate with an external wireless device. One or more conductive lines electrically connect the radio with one or more of the plurality of touch sensors, wherein the plurality of touch sensors operate as one or more antennas for facilitating the wireless communication.
