Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are taught that provide audio signals to a user from an eyewear device utilizing a personal projection micro speaker system, A method includes generating audio signals within a chamber. The chamber' is a part of a volume of the eyewear device. The audio signals are concentrated for delivery to the user's ear. The audio signals are transmitted to the user's ear 'through a port in the chamber.
