Tekcapital portfolio company Innovative Eyewear has rocketed higher in US trade after the smart eyewear company announced the launch of its safety eyewear range, opening the doors to entirely new sectors in industry, manufacturing and construction.
The new product represents the first-ever ANSI Z87.1-certified smart safety eyewear that combines industrial-grade protection with advanced technological features.
The smart safety eyewear integrates ChatGPT capabilities, adaptive light-sensitive lenses, and walkie-talkie functionality into a lightweight, prescription-compatible design.
Built for diverse professional environments, including construction, healthcare, and logistics, Lucyd Armor features an impressive 8-hour battery life and employs Bluetooth 5.3 technology. The design includes patent-pending touch controls specifically engineered for use with gloves or wet hands alongside AI-powered noise-reduction microphones for clear communication in noisy environments.
Innovative Eyewear have clearly taken into consideration the demands of the end market and built in photochromic lenses with anti-fog and anti-scratch coatings come standard, while an open-ear audio system allows workers to maintain environmental awareness while accessing AI assistance or communication functions.
The product’s integration with multiple AI assistants, including ChatGPT, Siri, and Google Voice, positions it as a potential game-changer in workplace safety and productivity enhancement.
These features could make Innovative Eyewear’s products an essential tool for workers, providing the smart eyewear company with additional revenue streams.
Investors welcomed the development, with Innovative Eyewear shares rising 33% in US early trade.
