MIAMI, Feb. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Innovative Eyewear, Inc. ("Innovative Eyewear" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: LUCY; LUCYW), the developer and retailer of smart eyewear under the Lucyd®, Nautica® and Eddie Bauer® brands, announces a major upgrade to its flagship Lucyd Lyte audio eyewear platform. The new Lucyd Lyte 2.0 line brings several advances to the company's core product and is available now, in any optical prescription, at Lucyd.co. The Company intends to introduce the product to optical and specialty retailers worldwide. The Lyte 2.0 marks the culmination of years of R&D to realize the company's mission to make smart eyewear more accessible, useful and stylish for the optical and sunglass markets. New features include:

• A four-speaker array provides immersive open-ear audio, that matches the sound quality of traditional earbuds without obstructing your hearing. The new speaker system provides an enhanced mid-range and bass response compared to the previous Lucyd Lyte.
• Audio input is improved with the introduction of dual noise-cancelling microphones. The Lyte 2.0 is ideal for recording audio content such as podcasts and voice messages, and improves the fidelity of phone calls and input for voice assistants like Siri® compared to most built-in smartphone microphones.
• The battery life of the glasses has been improved to 12 hours of music playback and call time per charge, a 50% uplift over the previous model.
• The collection boasts 15 trending eyewear styles crafted by an experienced  eyewear design team. 10 styles are available now, with the remaining five in pre-order until their expected availability in March 2023.  
• The collection includes optical frames designed specifically for women and petite heads, as part of the company's initiative to develop smart eyewear for all head shapes and sizes.
• The power and pairing indicator LEDs have been moved to a more discreet location in the inner temple.
• Touch controls now give an audible signal whenever the user adjusts volume or uses the other button functions, such as activating the voice assistant.
• Two new custom hinge types to enable a stronger, more aesthetically pleasing connection from the frontplate to the smart temple.
• Strength of the magnetic charging connection is improved, and the new collection is backwards compatible with the Lucyd Dock charger introduced with the original Lyte.
• The glasses use Bluetooth 5.2, providing improved connection stability over the previous 5.1 model.
• The glasses are offered with a new selection of over 20 custom lenses on Lucyd.co, now including gradient sunglasses and the latest cutting-edge Transitions® XTRActive Polarized and Signature Colors lenses.
• All of these features are added while maintaining price parity with traditional eyeglasses.

"Simply put, there is no smart eyewear on the market that is as bold, beautiful and functional as the Lucyd Lyte 2.0," says Harrison Gross, CEO of Innovative Eyewear. "We are in a very unique place in history where time-tested devices like the wristwatch and eyeglasses are being reimagined as onramps into our digital lives. I am grateful and amazed that my team was able to develop smart eyewear that truly delivers on the promise of wearables to make many forms of data and mobile computing easier to access, and more natural and seamless. Unlike many companies that produce smart eyewear alongside dozens or hundreds of other products, we are singularly focused on this emerging category to make it useful and exciting for the average person. I encourage everyone to upgrade their eyewear® with the Lyte 2.0, to see and hear the difference that years of thoughtful and rigorous development on a single core concept can make."

MIAMI, Feb. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Innovative Eyewear, Inc. ("Innovative Eyewear" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: LUCY; LUCYW), the developer and retailer of smart eyewear under the Lucyd®, Nautica® and Eddie Bauer® brands, is pleased to announce major developments in its Vyrb social audio app, which is in open beta on iOS and Android.

Vyrb is a full social media pla­­­­­­tform designed for wearables, which offers a suite of tools for creating, sharing and enjoying audio content in a frictionless, handsfree format. While it offers a complete visual interface, the app provides a set of unique handsfree social utilities accessed through voice assistants like Siri®. The company has just completed a powerful new live broadcasting feature called "On Air", which enables users to create real-time audio chatrooms with up to 100 visitors and multiple active speakers. The company believes this new feature will be a useful tool for audio content creators and collaborative work.

"Lucyd Eyewear is not simply another smartglass, it is an evolution in optical eyewear that makes it easier than ever to create and consume audio content," says Innovative Eyewear CEO Harrison Gross. "We are supporting our hardware platform with audio-focused software to enable seamless communication, content generation and social interaction on our frames as well as other wearables. The introduction of the On Air feature to our Vyrb app is a milestone where we have enhanced the popular and useful real-time chat functionality found in other social apps, by adapting it to an ecosystem purpose-built for wearable communications. Now, Vyrb users will be able to communicate with a vast team and host live audio events with large audiences. After a user concludes an On Air session, they have the option to save a recording of it on their Vyrb profile and share to other platforms."

In addition to the On Air feature, Vyrb's latest release includes an audio upload feature that allows users to port audio files they created outside of Vyrb into the app, mix in sound effects, and share to their profile. This feature enables content creators to quickly upload their audio content library into Vyrb.
