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."
You can order Lucyd Smart Eyewear
now at https://Lucyd.co with a variety of prescription and custom lens options. To see
