Tekcapital’s portfolio companies have been busy expanding commercial partnerships and enhancing their intellectual property this week. After yesterday’s news that MicroSalt were expanding into Asia, Tekcapital announced Innovative Eyewear was launching a new transitional blue light-blocking lens on Tuesday.
The lens provides additional eye protection across varied environments without changing eyewear.
Today’s announcement follows the launch of ChatGPT functionality across the Lucyd smart eyewear range earlier this year, allowing Lucyd users to access Generative AI through a voice interface built into Lucyd’s smart eyewear.
“I am thrilled to announce another engineering feat from our dedicated team, who are always striving to help our customers get the most out of the glasses they wear every day,” said Harrison Gross, CEO of Innovative Eyewear Inc.
“The new Blueshift lens makes our eyewear suitable for use in almost any environment and at any light level. We believe this lens is an important enhancement for all-day wearability, allowing the user to seamlessly shift from blocking harmful blue light during computer and phone use, to enjoying driving and outdoor activities comfortably in high sunlight. We believe this exciting new upgrade, in tandem with our recently released Lucyd app which made our eyewear the first to be ChatGPT-enabled, further expands the tech advantages of Lucyd Eyewear over competing products.”
In addition to Innovative Eyewear’s new lens announcement, Tekcapital investors will be pleased to learn AIM-listed Belluscura shares surged after announcing they had signed a deal with McKesson Medical-Surgical, a division of McKesson, the 9th largest company by revenue in the US.
