Abstract

An eyewear device including a strain gauge sensor to determine when the eyewear device is manipulated by a user, such as being put on, taken off, and interacted with. A processor identifies a signature event based on sensor signals received from the strain gauge sensor and a data table of strain gauge sensor measurements corresponding to signature events. The processor controls the eyewear device as a function of the identified signature event, such as powering on a display of the eyewear device as the eyewear device is being put on a user's head, and then turning off the display when the eyewear device is removed from the user's head.
