Introducing Lucyd^® Lyte 2.0 Collection with ChatGPT Integration

Tekcapital Plc (AIM: TEK, OTCQB: TEKCF), the UK intellectual property investment group announces that Innovative Eyewear, Inc. ("Innovative Eyewear") (NASDAQ: LUCY; LUCYW), the developer and retailer of smart eyewear under the Lucyd®, Nautica®, and Eddie Bauer® brands, will be holding an Eyewear Fashion Show on April 20th @ 6:00PM EDT at Win 37 Art Gallery, 4320 NW 2nd Ave, Miami, FL 33127 to display its. Lyte 2.0 ChatGPT-enabled smart eyewear line, as part of its Spring 2023 Collection.

Innovative Eyewear believes its new designs and upgrade to the global smart eyewear market can improve the daily lives of people around the world. The Lucyd Lyte® flagship smart eyewear line is reimagining and disrupting the smart eyewear market with a new seamless voice integration with ChatGPT, powered by its patent-pending Lucyd app. Lucyd glasses empower consumers to listen to music, take and make calls, and use voice assistants to perform tasks, and can instantly help individuals tap into ChatGPT's powerful AI, enabling them to ask ChatGPT just about anything and receive spoken answers.

Harrison Gross, CEO of Innovative Eyewear said:

"From translating languages to looking up recipes and asking questions about pop culture, consumers can verbally ask questions to ChatGPT through microphones seamlessly built into Lucyd glasses and hear the responses through stereo speakers. Additionally, the app may also be used via a streamlined visual interface on iOS/Android, providing the user with both seamless voice and textual interfaces for ChatGPT.  

"We believe that our smart eyewear app, integrating ChatGPT, is a paradigm shift in the fashion eyewear market. With our new Lucyd app, which is free during the open beta, we are continuing to make smart eyewear more accessible and functional. It's our view that a great pair of smart glasses is defined by three key factors: beautiful design, innovative technology, and suitability for all-day wear. The Lyte 2.0 eyewear collection successfully offers these attributes and now provides a fourth factor-access to one of the world's most popular AI bots. By connecting to ChatGPT via voice commands on Lucyd smart eyewear, users can now access a wealth of detailed information on just about any subject, making smart eyewear a wonderful mobile learning tool.

"Lucyd Lyte® 2.0 eyewear is available in 15 distinct, patent-pending styles, all of which are available with prescription or sunglass lenses, making it one of the most versatile lines of smart eyewear globally. Lucyd smart eyewear makes it easy to use ChatGPT by combining the strength of a natural language AI bot with the natural ergonomic interface of speaking and listening on a hands-free wearable device.

"With this latest debut, Lucyd Smart Eyewear is fusing AI technology and style to disrupt the designer eyewear market by seamlessly integrating ChatGPT via voice commands through Siri or Google Voice. Our Smart glasses go beyond listening to music or taking a phone call-Now consumers can go from stylish and smart to gifted, with audio ChatGPT spoken directly in their ears.

"Lucyd® is an award-winning, patented, smart eyewear brand that is competitively priced with traditional eyewear.  With proprietary technology and stylish designs made to elevate customers' eyewear experience, our eyewear is made to provide the ultimate combination of style and functionality.

"The power of AI chatbots has become undeniable over the last few months. Coupling it with an ergonomic, spoken interface makes it easier to realize its promise. Conversations with AI chatbots are now voice enabled with the Lucyd app and available on-the-go through the entire Lyte 2.0 line.

"We believe Lucyd®'s Spring 2023 collection of men's and women's eyewear has the potential to make a serious dent in the fashion smart eyewear market. Our latest generation of smart glasses combines sleek design with open-ear headphones, UV protection, prescription lenses and voice assistance into one innovative, lightweight eyewear product that are equally beautiful and functional.

"With quadrasonic speakers, open-ear audio, noise cancellation microphones, polarized UV 400 lenses and 12-hour battery life seamlessly programmed to work with the world's smartest Artificial Intelligence platform, Lucyd Lyte is smart eyewear like no other. We believe Lucyd ChatGPT enabled eyewear is the next evolutionary step to Upgrade your Eyewear®."
