LONDON: Tekcapital plc announced that its portfolio company Lucyd Ltd, the smartglass developer and operator of eShop for tech eyewear, is launching their third line of Lucyd Loud Bluetooth glasses on 27 January 2020.

These prescription compatible, audio glasses offer enhanced sound quality, comfort and style at an attractive price.

Lucyd Loud eyewear is its most advanced entry in the wearables market that adds useful smart features to eyeglasses in a form factor similar to traditional spectacles. Lucyd focuses on ergonomics and utility in their products and is one of the first companies to deliver prescription smartglasses.

The goal of Lucyd Loud is to enable the user to live more freely and conveniently, by making many important smartphone functions available with a simple tap on their glasses. In addition to making calls and listening to music, with digital assistants like Siri® and Google Voice®, Lucyd Loud enables the wearer to summon a rideshare driver, send funds and get directions handsfree.

Harrison Gross, CEO of Lucyd said, “We are extremely excited to bring this new line of enhanced eyewear to the glasses-wearing public. We have taken in a huge amount of feedback and user stories on our previous models and used this information to catalyze our development of Loud 3.0. It is my firm belief that these new smartglasses represent a significant leap over other options in the space, with their superior combination of quality, prescription adaptability and price.”

Dr Clifford Gross, Executive Chairman at Tekcapital, commented: “We are very glad to see the continuous development of Lucyd’s products and brand as it seeks to capitalize on its first-mover advantage in providing prescription, Bluetooth enabled eyewear.”
