Tekcapital Plc

("Tekcapital", the "Company" or the "Group")

Innovative Eyewear, Inc. Launches Bixby App to

Enable ChatGPT on its Smart Eyewear

 

Tekcapital Plc (AIM: TEK), the UK intellectual property investment group notes
that Innovative Eyewear, Inc. ("Innovative Eyewear" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:
LUCY; LUCYW), the developer and retailer of smart eyewear under the Lucyd®,
Nautica®, Eddie Bauer® and Reebok® brands, announced today that it has
launched a Bixby app called LUCY to enable handsfree ChatGPT access on its
glasses. This brings a powerful new feature to Samsung phone users for the
first time - the ability to access ChatGPT via the device's native voice
assistant.

 

All users of Bixby can now speak to and hear responses from ChatGPT through
Lucyd eyewear connected to their Samsung device, or on the device itself. The
Company believes this seamless, voice-controlled access to new AI features
will support numerous new utilities for Samsung phone and tablet users, such
as real-time translations and detailed research capabilities on almost any
subject.

Harrison Gross, CEO of Innovative Eyewear, stated:

 

"After a year of rigorous development from our launch of handsfree ChatGPT
access on iOS devices, we are extremely pleased to now offer this feature for
one of the largest groups of smartphone users, those with Samsung phones. This
is an important milestone in our mission to make smart eyewear accessible,
enjoyable and useful for all. With our new Bixby app, Samsung users can enjoy
more convenient access to numerous types of information, and experience the
world's most powerful AI simply and quickly on Lucyd eyewear.

 

We are also excited about the potential of using our glasses in tandem with
Samsung's forthcoming smart ring 1  to deliver health and exercise data
through our eyewear. This could allow customers to learn about their health
status and exercise metrics without having to look at a phone or smartwatch."
