Glasses contain: a video camera 2, a memory (62, figure 3) for storing its output, a first inductive loop or coil 7, a rechargeable battery 4 and associated circuitry 8, 9, (61, figure 3). A separate storage case (11, figure 2) for the glasses has a second inductive loop or coil (12), processor (133), a battery (14, 15), a buffer memory (134, figure 3) and means (133) for detecting whether the glasses are present in the case. Power from the battery (14) is transferred by induction between the coils 7, (11, figure 2) to recharge the battery 4. Video data from the memory (62) is transferred via the inductive connection of coils 7, (12, figure 2) to the buffer memory (134). A USB interface (132) and connector (14) allows the video data to be transferred from the buffer (134) to a computer for viewing, in conventional manner. A radio transmitter within the headgear is avoided and therefore the power requirements during capture of the video image are greatly reduced. |
