Miami, Florida--(Newsfile Corp. - July 18, 2024) - Innovative Eyewear Inc. (NASDAQ: LUCY) (NASDAQ: LUCYW) ("Innovative Eyewear" or "the Company"), the developer of smart eyewear under the Lucyd®, Nautica®, Eddie Bauer® and Reebok® brands, today announced the debut of a new Walkie-Talkie feature on all Lucyd Eyewear. The new update to the Lucyd app for iOS and Android, released this week, enables Lucyd users worldwide to speak to each other through walkie-talkie style communication channels on their glasses. This new feature provides instant, unlimited voice conferencing with up to thousands of users on each channel.
"Imitating the simple controls of walkie talkies, but removing their typical signal radius limitations, makes this a fast, powerful and convenient communication feature of our glasses," said Harrison Gross, CEO of Innovative Eyewear. "No dialing, waiting for an answer, or conferencing in folks - just share a channel number and join in real time. We anticipate this feature will be well-received by industrial and warehousing customers of our upcoming smart safety glasses. We look forward to providing this handy new tool to working teams worldwide."

Designed with large teams of safety glass users in mind, this feature will make Innovative Eyewear's upcoming Lucyd® Armor smart safety glass a communication tool and personal protection equipment in one convenient device. For example, the entire staff of a warehouse or hospital can communicate freely with each other, handsfree on their safety glasses.
