1. An electronic apparatus for automatically extending and retracting a display inside and out of an ear-mounted speaker audio system with at least one air wave hand gesture and speech pattern, useable with depth cameras and microphones attached on said ear-mounted speaker audio system as well as other sensors and transmitters, comprising:
a display;
a speaker audio system including a detachable bridge and speakers, wearable on either a single ear with one speaker detached, or both ears of said user when said additional speaker is attached via said apparatus bridge;
an extraction and retraction mechanism, wherein said extraction and retraction mechanism includes an electronic swivel and an array of hollow, telescoping extension tubes set in motion by a drive cable and assortment of rotating gears actuated via a motor, said drive cable which guides the extension of said telescoping tubes when extruded and upon retraction of said telescoping tubes said drive cable coils inside of said speaker audio system, secured in place by a drive cable housing cover to prevent said drive cable from interfering with other parts:
said electronic swivel which rotates said display from a vertical angular direction upon extrusion, to a horizontal angular direction once fully extended, placing said display within the user's field of view and then inverting said angular motions when preparing to retract back inside of said speaker audio system;
an aperture inside of said ear-mounted audio speaker for housing said display, said swivel, and said telescopic extension tubes when retracted:
at least one microphone that interprets voice commands made by the user that are used by said processor to control said physical movement and placement of said display inside and out of said aperture; and
a processor housed inside said ear-mounted speaker audio system for generating images on said display, wherein said processor is configured for actuating said hollow, telescopic extension tubes which house a combination of wires connecting the display and electronic swivel to the processor in order to execute commands by:
receiving image inputs from a depth camera that detect a user's hand gestures which are waved in the air within a space in said depth camera's field of view;
receiving voice commands from a microphone that detects a user's speech; processing said depth camera and speech inputs in combination with inputs from other inertial measurement units, sensors, and transmitters to show images on said display
based on said air wave hand gestures and speech patterns, determining at least one air wave hand gesture and speech pattern which instruct the motor to actuate the extraction and retraction mechanism of the telescoping extension tubes and electronic swivel;
said air wave hand gesture inputs which further include interacting with a multitude of holographic objects visible to said user via said display, said hand gesture interaction with holographic objects which are used by the processor to control navigation of the apparatus's features and further determine the movement of said display's extraction and retraction mechanism;
interconnected cameras, sensors, microphones, measurement units, speakers, circuit boards, and associated circuitry such that these parts act as a unit for receiving, from the user, an input associated with a function, the function used to approximate information presented on said display, as well as processing external physical objects, sensory, and auditory information that act as inputs for said apparatus's extraction and retraction mechanism; and
said processor executed via wireless connections to satellites, other mobile devices, computers, a user's external environment, and any combination thereof.
