Abstract
An electronic eyewear device with a shape memory alloy (SMA) actuator to apply torque to the eyewear temples. The torque presses the eyewear temples against the side of a user's head for a snug and comfortable fit. The SMA actuator allows one size of eyewear frames to fit a larger range of users, thereby reducing the number of sizes required to be manufactured for the electronic eyewear device.
