(NASDAQ: LUCY; LUCYW), the developer of ChatGPT-enabled smart eyewear under the Lucyd®, Nautica®, Eddie Bauer® and Reebok® brands, announces today that it has officially launched Lucyd Armor™—the world's first smart safety eyewear in a lightweight, affordable and prescription-ready form factor, and meeting the ANSI Z87.1 standard for workplace safety use.

The ANSI Z87.1 standard is a safety guideline for protective eyewear, ensuring it is strong enough to shield the eyes from hazards like debris, chemicals, or dust. It tests safety glasses and goggles for impact resistance and protection in dangerous environments. The Company has also filed design and utility patents on the product.

Lucyd Armor is a category-defining smart safety glass that offers ANSI Z87.1-certified protection alongside instant ChatGPT access, auto-tinting lenses, a walkie-talkie VOIP feature, and a form factor similar to stylish sport wrap-around glasses. Whether working in construction, logistics, healthcare, or utility industries, professionals can benefit from protective and productivity-enhancing technologies that boost overall efficiency while allowing them to stay connected throughout the workday.

Key Features of Lucyd Armor:

AI-Powered Integration: Gain instant access to Siri, Google Voice and ChatGPT for hands-free information, instructions, and communication, via Bluetooth 5.3 connection.
All-Day Comfort and Durability: The lightweight, one-size-fits-all design features adjustable silicone nose pads and no-slip flexible temples, ensuring secure and comfortable wear during long shifts. Patent-pending touch controls enable full use of the glasses with sweaty or gloved hands.
Adaptive Lenses: Photochromic lenses that adapt to changing light conditions, with anti-fog and anti-scratch coatings for superior visibility, which are included at no extra cost. Additional prescription and lens upgrades can be purchased here from Lucyd.co.
8-Hour Battery Life: Enjoy long-lasting battery with up to 8 hours of continuous music playback or 100+ hours of standby time for notifications and alerts.

In addition to these features, Lucyd Armor's open-ear audio system, AI-powered noise reduction microphones, and Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity provide workers with the convenience to take calls, access smart features and AI information, and listen to audio instructions while remaining aware of their surroundings. One of the standout features of Lucyd Armor is the walkie-talkie function, accessible via the Lucyd App, which facilitates enhanced team communication without requiring additional devices.
