Hello InnoEye community,

Thanks so much for following our mission to upgrade the world's eyewear. We have some very exciting updates today. 

Try out a colorized Lyte in your prescription @ Lucyd.co.

1. Our first utility patent, for a future software app that manages data flow between wearables and IOT devices, has been officially granted by the USPTO. Check it out here! We announced the notice of allowance a few months ago, and now the patent is fully granted, helping to secure the Lucyd brand in the IOT future.

2. We have passed 11,000 email subscribers, 3,200 investors, and nearly $850,000 raised! Thanks to our incredible crowdfund community, we have launched the Lucyd Lyte™ line, filed several patents, began development on our exciting Vyrb™ app, and grown our team with two amazing new members. Please help us get to the next level by telling your friends about our campaign! 

3. We were invited by the exclusive Brookstone website to provide Lucyd Lyte to their customers. Check us out here! We have also listed the Lyte on Walmart.com, check that out here. In addition to enhancing our ecommerce channels,  we are also pursuing brick-and-mortar distribution channels. 

4. For an in-depth chat about ecommerce, check out the latest interview with InnoEye CEO Harrison.

5. The results are in on the style contest. The community has spoken on their favorite potential styles of Lyte, and we have begun to work on our next models, planned to release this summer. 

Thanks again for everyone's help. All of the above truly would not have been possible without our fantastic Startengine investors. 

Best,

InnoEye Team

Hello InnoEye investors,

Thanks for participating in our mission to upgrade the world's eyewear! Our groundbreaking Lucyd Lyte e-glasses are making waves, with over 50 five-star reviews coming into Lucyd.co in the last month since launch. 

What's even more amazing about our frames is that they were built, selected and beta tested by a community of thousands of eyewear and tech fanatics around the world! That's right–thousands of people have joined our cause, over three thousand to be precise. That's because our community sees the value that Lucyd is bringing to the market, as a pioneer in ergonomic and fashionable smartglass design. And our customers are certainly taking notice. 

We have a great new interview out with InnoEye CEO and Lucyd brand creator Harrison Gross. Watch it here to get our latest updates straight from the source, and see some terrific feedback from an up-and-coming podcaster. 

We also have a new comparison review against the Bose Frames 2.0! Check it out here, from DJ Joe Bunn.

Hello to our amazing investors and followers! 

Thank you so much for your incredible contributions to one of the first community-owned smartglass companies! We are very pleased to announce that the gift codes for the free Lucyd Lyte frames to our $500 & up investors have been emailed out today. If you contributed $500 or more over the life of the campaign, search for an email titled GET YOUR COMPLIMENTARY NEW LUCYD LYTE E-GLASSES NOW!  Some who have contributed after 12/16/20 will be included in the next round of codes at the end of January, as your investment is still processing.

This email will contain a unique gift code for you to use on Lucyd.co. Copy it and head to our mainsite, select your Lyte and you're good to go! Enter your code at checkout to make it completely free. For our investors requiring prescription lenses, or international shipping, simply reply to the code email to have your code updated to the correct amount. Note that only clear single prescriptions are covered, and there is a small copay of $80 for clear or sunglass lineless bifocal (progressive) lenses. You may also purchase additional lens upgrades and accessories if you wish. We have released a three-pack of purple, red and blue light lenses for all frame styles for just $25, and an extra charging cable for the Lyte for $10. 

For those of you without prescription, you should receive your standard sunglass Lyte in the next 10-14 days. For those with prescription, please allow 14-20 days for delivery. The glasses are still in transit via DHL and are expected in less than a week in Miami. To our investors who have not yet reached the $500 mark, it's not too late: you have until our campaign ends to get the free Lyte promotion, and all investments are cumulative towards our bonus tiers. 

Thank you to all for your patience with us as we have worked to create what is potentially the first mainstream smart frame. We are honestly surprised and humbled, the kindness and generosity of our community on Startengine has made this all possible. We look forward to upgrading your eyewear! Have a wonderful holiday season!

We know you've been eagerly anticipating getting your hands on a Lucyd Lyte, and we're pleased to tell you it won't be much longer. We have faced several delays in manufacturing due to the difficult business environment post-Covid, but the glasses are being manufactured and are entering quality control testing very shortly. Lucyd Lyte is expected to ship to $500 & up investors the week of Christmas, with an official launch date of December 30th. Investors will be contacted at that time with information regarding claiming their pair and uploading their prescription if needed. Regular sales of Lyte will commence on Dec 30th, on our shiny new website, expected to launch next week. We know it's been a long wait, but we promise it will be worth it! 

What else are we up to? We just finished an awesome video shoot with our brand ambassador and NFL star Richard Sherman, and are expecting to launch our very first TV commercial in the coming weeks. We believe this large amount of media exposure will help build a great amount of hype around the company and our exciting new product. Here's a still from the shoot, with Richard wearing the "Moonbeam" model: 

One last thing! We are getting rid of ALL of our legacy Lucyd Loud models and standard frames from the Lucyd.co shop, so NOW is the time to pick up a pair of regular glasses or sunglasses at an amazing price! Use code BLACKFRIDAY for an awesome 50% OFF all frames AND PRESCRIPTION LENSES! This is a unique opportunity to score a fresh frame at an unbeatable price.

Hello InnoEye investors,

Thanks for following our mission to upgrade the world's eyewear! 

Some exciting news today, as we receive notice of allowance from the US Patent Office on our first utility patent application: the LINK app. The LINK app is a unique piece of software that we are developing to help manage the flow of information and control of IOT devices. In the future, we envision that many users of Lucyd frames will also have a number of other smart devices, and the LINK app will aid in the control thereof. For example, it will allow you to control other smart devices with your Lucyd e-glasses. Since widespread IOT usage is still a ways off, we are focused more on the Vyrb app in the short term--but it's still great news that our utility patent was given notice of allowance! This IP is fantastic because it helps Lucyd carve out a protected operating space in the wearables sector.

A few more quick things for you! Join the new contest to win free glasses. Also, check out our Youtube for the latest Lucyd videos, and don't forget to subscribe!

Lucyd Brand Ambassador Richard Sherman (Cornerback of the NFL 49ers) just posted about us! Check it out below, he mentions our current awesome sale of $50 off all Lucyd frames! To use the sale, check out on Lucyd.co with code SHERMAN50–it's a great opportunity to get some new Rx glasses on the low!

Hey InnoEye investors,

We have a great update for you today! 

Let's start off with some fresh press, following our incredible Odyssey review earlier this week. Check out the new Kalkine article for some background on the company and how we're trying to evolve the world of eyewear. 

We're also very pleased to share some new interface screens from our Vyrb app development. These samples of the interface are very close to what is expected for the beta version of the app. Although a key component of Vyrb is expanding the utility of Lucyd Lyte glasses by adding new social commands to your voice assistant, we are also developing a modern and unique visual experience focused on sharing and enjoying the human voice. Check out the sample interfaces below, including examples of the home feed, posting and voice commenting. The "V" wave Vyrb button allows for quick recording of voice posts, comments and messages. 

Be sure to let us know what you think in the comments below!

Hello InnoEye investors, 

Well, we've got some great news for you today. We sent off a beta Lucyd Lyte and a pair of the Bose Frames 2.0 to the Odyssey for an impartial comparison. And Lyte won in spades! The Odyssey is a super-popular outlet covering all sorts of news topics, and they reached out to us for a feature. With over 30 million readers they're perfect for getting out our mission to upgrade the world's eyewear. 

Check out this comparison of technical features of our new product and the new Bose:

This is exciting news for our community, because Bose is a very well-established and respected audio company with over $3b in annual revenue. But we have managed to build e-glasses that are more appealing on several fronts. 

Ok, ready for our first high-powered Lyte review? Head over to the Odyssey! 

All the best,

Hello InnoEye investors and fans,

Thanks again for being a part of our pioneering eyewear company! It certainly wouldn't be possible without people like you. No one person, or one team, can change the face of eyewear forever. But working together with our awesome community, it just might be possible. 

Check out the first samples in of our upcoming white Lucyd Lyte models. Cutting-edge fashion, useful tech and prescription vision come together for the first time in Lucyd Lyte, and we couldn't be more excited to share these two white-hot pairs. 

Model: Lytening. Seen here with Blue Light+ lenses from the Lucyd lab.

Model: Sunbeam. Outfitted with UV400 sunglass lenses. 

Due to some slight delays, Lucyd Lyte is expected to be available to the community in mid-November. All investors eligible for a free pair, (those that have invested $500 or more across the life of the campaign) will be contacted directly by the team to confirm their prescription needs, and issue them the credit for getting their free pair on Lucyd.co. If you would like a pair for a family member as well, have them invest on a separate account, or wait for the Black Friday special.

Please note that we are planning to remove our non-Bluetooth frames by the end of the year, so are offering $50 off all of our existing fashion frames on Lucyd.co, for the next month. Use code BARGAIN at checkout. It's a great opportunity to pick up a stylish prescription glass on the low. 

Thanks everyone!

Hello! Recently, a change was made to the Innovative Eyewear, Inc. offering. Here's an excerpt describing the specifics of the change:

Extended length of campaign.

When live offerings undergo changes like these on StartEngine, the SEC requires that certain investments be reconfirmed. If your investment requires reconfirmation, you will be contacted by StartEngine via email with further instructions.

Hello to our amazing investors and followers, 

Thank you so much for supporting our company as we work to build the first mass-market e-glasses. We genuinely love being a community-funded company, because it brings so much grassroots insight, and a close relationship with both our customers and investors. 

We are pleased to share a recent feature in the widely-circulated New York Post, which organically covered our Lucyd eShop in their back-to-school gift guide! 

Furthermore, we are thrilled to report progress in the first production run of Lucyd Lyte. Our manufacturer has just shipped the first production box samples, as well as production samples of all six launch styles of Lucyd Lyte. Our beta testing is also progressing well, with rave reviews coming in from our influencers. 

Finally, we are clearing out all of our old frames to make way for the new Lyte, so if you need some new glasses, head to the Lucyd.co eshop and use code BARGAIN to take $50 off any frame!

Thanks so much for continuing to follow our project. We are very grateful for your help.

Hello InnoEye investors, thanks so much for joining us! We have a very exciting update to share with you today. Our first beta testers have just received their Lucyd Lytes, and we already have some excellent feedback! These reactions will become viewable in situ on Amazon reviews and influencer reviews of the product in the coming weeks. Read on:

"I do love the features and it was easy to set up."
-Demario J.

"Yeah these are legit. Perfect frame size. Super comfortable. They have a nice weight to them but aren’t bulky. Speakers sound 30-40% better. The gold buttons are nice touch. Give it a much better feel."
-Matthew L.

"These shades are sick. Huge improvement over the old ones... I just took them on a bike ride and they were perfect. I don't like wearing headphones when I'm riding because I want to be able to hear what's going on around me. These were great."
-Alexander B.

"It's very apparent that the Lucyd team is very discerning about quality and it shows with these comfortable glasses.

Audio is superb quality, better than my Beats ear buds to put it into perspective. I'm very impressed with how crystal clear the audio for music and phone calls are. No latency issues on calls or delays from my Bluetooth compatible devices.

It's also impressive by how much value you get for this price. Not only are these cheaper than the Bose sunglasses but the quality all around usurps Bose in every aspect. I will definitely be getting a second pair (one prescription and one as regular sunglasses) very happy with this purchase.

Very glad I found this product and definitely would recommend to anyone in the market for sunglasses/glasses in general, for this price and the style doesn't even look like there would be Bluetooth capability built in. Also the touch controls are some of the best and most responsive."
-Brandon N.

We're pleased to share that the feedback is already overwhelmingly positive on our upcoming product. We are also expecting prototypes of the full line of all six samples in the next two weeks, as well as the retail packaging, and will share photos when available. The Lucyd Lyte expected launch date has been pushed to October 15, because we had to make some final adjustments to the frame molds. But everything is on track for a speedy delivery to our Tier 1 investors and customers in the early fall, and in time for an amazing Black Friday promotion.

Thanks for reading, looking forward to sharing more exciting updates!

Hello to our amazing investors and followers,

Just a quick update today to share our latest press coverage, in TechStartups.com!

Thank you to everyone who has helped us get to $145k raised. It's really an impressive feat. 

Vyrb development is going to well, we're finalizing the design of the interface now.

Best,
InnoEye team

Hello to our amazing investors and fans, thanks so much for continuing to follow our journey to upgrade the world’s eyewear. Today we’ll be discussing some background info on our product category, and how we will be marketing the Lucyd® Lyte™ frame.

We have been faced with many challenges in our quest to build the perfect smart frame, and chief among them is the fact that perhaps 99% of people have never worn a tech-enhanced pair of glasses, even in a demo scenario. So not only have we been presented with the difficulty of creating an ergonomic and user-friendly frame, but also have had to create the market need in the minds of the consumers. People won’t buy a product they aren’t aware of or don’t immediately see the value in. So from the very beginning, we have been addressing the question of why you should upgrade your eyewear with Lucyd frames. And the answer is becoming quite clear with our new frame: you lose nothing compared to regular glasses, but gain a whole lot more in terms of functionality, without compromising on price. Take a look at this chart to see how Lucyd Lyte stacks against regular old glasses.

You can see by the above chart that we are developing a truly disruptive product in the eyewear space. None of the previous products in the smart frame category have this feature set, which all but eliminates any opportunity cost against upgrading your eyewear with Lucyd. Furthermore, in each lens type category, Lucyd is a price leader with the exception of single prescriptions purchased online. When it comes to a single prescription, it is only an additional $60 to get the Lucyd option vs. a non-tech Warby Parker frame. For our closest smart frame competitor, Bose, they charge $306 for a single prescription frame compared to $154 for Lucyd—$150 more! And when compared to a physical optical store like Lenscrafters, where single Rx eyeglasses can cost $200, we are considerably more affordable in every prescription category. In Progressive lenses (unlined bifocal), we absolutely decimate the competition both on and offline. This is possible because of our partnership with a Boston-based lens lab that has been in business for 40 years, which offers us industry-leading lens pricing.

To ensure mass market adoption of our product, we are faced with a dual challenge—removing any reason to prefer regular glasses over ours, and informing the customer of the benefits of switching to Lucyd. We believe that simple comparisons such as the chart above will enable a smooth customer acquisition process when advertising to the traditional eyewear market.

Finally, a consistent issue we have faced in the marketing of our smart frames is the product category labelling. They’re not regular glasses, nor are they headphones. They aren’t a pure tech wearable as they also correct vision. The term “smartglasses” is close, but evokes headgear with an AR display. “Music Glasses” and “Bluetooth Glasses” are both descriptive but don’t capture the full feature set. After much deliberation, we have settled on a new term for our product category: e-glasses. This follows the naming trend of “email”, “ebooks” and “ecommerce”, and implies a new, electronic upgrade to an existing product category. We believe this novel term will help new customers quickly identify what it is about Lucyd frames that makes them special, and bring them to a buying decision faster. Plus, it sounds pretty cool!

Thanks for reading this update, and thanks again to all who have contributed to our crowdfund. We look forward to upgrading your eyewear.

Hello to our wonderful campaign followers! Hope you are having a terrific week thus far. 

Thanks so much for continuing to follow our mission to upgrade your eyewear. We have an exciting update today as we were just featured in Tom's Finds, a very popular guide to fun, new electronics. 

They reached out to us after finding out about our goal to provide affordable prescription-ready smartglasses! Since the Lyte is not out yet, they could only feature our previous model, Lucyd Loud 2020. The Loud was our original product line, which helped get the brand out into the market, and prove out many concepts of smartglasses--especially that people do, in fact, want their glasses to play music!

This is just the latest in the long line of press exposure we've gotten on our smart eyewear. If you want to see some more of our features, check out the Press Links on our campaign page, or to see it all, go to our blog. 

Our new FREE glasses contest is live, so head over now and vote for your favorite Lucyd Lyte style. You might even get it for free if you win!

Thanks again for stopping by!

Hello Lucyd fam and visitors to our campaign! Thanks for following our mission on upgrading the world's eyewear.

As we noted last week, we have begun the development of the Vyrb "vocal media" app, which will allow you to interact with social media with your voice on Lucyd smart frames, or directly on your phone or computer. 

Kalkine Media just released a new interview with InnoEye CEO Harrison Gross, detailing some of the most interesting and useful features of Vyrb. Please read the article to learn more about this exciting application, which will expand the capabilities of Lucyd frames as well as voice assistants in general. 

Thanks again for coming on this journey with us, and please let us know below if you have any questions or comments.

All the best,
InnoEye Team

Hello Lucyd fam and InnoEye investors, thanks for joining our mission to upgrade the world's eyewear. We have some exciting updates to share with you today. 

First, our latest contest has finished and we have awarded four pairs of smartglasses to our followers. Join the new contest for your chance to win free glasses from Lucyd! Best of all, as part of your entry you can pick your favorite style of Lucyd Lyte, and if you win, you'll get it! Note that the six styles shown in the contest are our planned launch models, spoiled there for the first time!

Next, our initial production samples of Lucyd Lyte have arrived in Miami, and we're pleased to share new photos of two of our launch models:

"Moonshot"

"Darkside"

One of the great difficulties in designing smart eyewear is finding a balance between sunglass and optical sizing and appearance, which is necessary to appeal to the widest possible group of glasses wearers. Sunglasses and optical glasses typically have different sizing and frame thicknesses, due to the way that dark and clear lenses interact differently with our faces. We determined these two styles based on having this cross-over appeal--they are just a little larger than regular glasses, and just a little smaller than most sunglasses, so they work in both contexts. Additionally, the clear-front variants we are producing will offer greater flexibility in terms of matching a large number of faces, since having a clear rim reduces the overall visual "weight" of the glasses.

A final note, we have just passed 1,000 followers on our new Instagram account. Check us out @goLucyd to join us on our adventures through Miami!

Thanks for your interest in our company. We look forward to bringing you the best smart eyewear on the market!

A tentative Vyrb app icon.

Lucyd fans and InnoEye investors - In our mission to develop the first affordable, mass market smartglasses, we aren't just stopping with great hardware. We're developing a social media app that is truly unique and disruptive: the Vyrb™ "vocal media" app.

We're posting this update today to let you know about the current status of Vyrb development. We have completed the overall front-end design of the app, determined the base feature set, and compiled a full product "bible" on the app in the form of a 40-page whitepaper, complete with every interface and core functionality.

After weeks of deliberation and scouting app developers, we have settled on a very capable software team to help bring Vyrb to life. We have just signed a contract with them and are beginning the "discovery phase" of the app, where we are performing essential research to determine the feasibility and path forward of the different modules of the app. This software team comes highly recommended and they have created a number of strong applications. 

Lucyd frames and Vyrb taken alone will be powerful products, but when combined, they form a compelling picture of a multifaceted hardware-software approach. With Lucyd Lyte and Vyrb together, we hope to build an entirely new and disruptive wearable ecosystem. 

Hello and thanks for taking the time to learn about Innovative Eyewear. We have several breaking developments that we are pleased to share with our current and prospective investor community. Over 270 people have already joined in on our mission to upgrade the world's eyewear, and we can't wait to build something great together.

First, our manufacturing shop has just provided us with photos of the very first Lucyd Lyte beta production models.

We expect to have the initial batch of units next week, and will begin beta testing with our network of tech and fashion influencers, gadget lovers and Lucyd eyewear fans. We'll share the result of this testing, and early feedback, right here in August.

As part of the launch of this new line and to expand our IP position, we have filed two new design patents on the above styles. We will look to expand this line to further styles and colors based on user feedback. At least one white style will also be available at launch.

Additionally, we're pleased to share that 13 of our design patent applications for the Lucyd Loud Youth line have been issued a notice of allowance, so they are now no longer just applications, but allowed patents. With the above filings, this brings our total IP position to 24 patents: three pending utility patents, 13 granted design patents, and eight pending design patents.

Finally, we have some new press features. We were just featured in Kalkine Media. Read the article for a review of our mission. Our upcoming Lyte line was also covered in GadgetFlow.

Thanks again for your interest in our project. We believe incredible things are in store for our company, and we're so grateful to have you in our community.

Warm wishes,
Harrison Gross
CEO
Innovative Eyewear, Inc.
