Original intents of the OTT

Sharpdub00

Oakley Beginner
So I unearthed this patent drawing today while messing around on the interwebs. This is a drawing included for a speaker mounts on eyeglass patent. There were also other random applications that listed the OTT drawing for audio/visual intents. I found it interesting myself, because I'm a sucker for technology.

Before you get your hopes up that the OTT is making a comeback as a HUD/Google Glass/Handsfree eyewear system, keep in mind that this patent was dated way back when.

I would totally rock these things if it were the better design for GoogleGlass, or a handsfree device, it just looks even more badass with the headset, almost fighter pilot-ish.

I believe they were originally intended to be worn under racing helmets ala Scotty Cannon. So they speaker/audio communication headset makes sense.
