Innovative Eyewear recently introduced four new variants of its ChatGPT-enabled Lucyd Armor smart safety glasses, including the polarized Lucyd Armor Green Mirror, the compact Lucyd Armor Slim for women, young adults and wearers with narrower faces, and the Lucyd Armor Black polarized, solid black sunglasses for protective outdoor use. "Upgrading to Lucyd Armor from regular safety glasses is like switching from a screwdriver to a power drill," said Harrison Gross, CEO of Lucyd. "We believe that it's safer and more ergonomic than handheld communication devices, or in-ear earbuds, both for hands-free team communications, and access to AI systems."
Lucyd Armor Vantage, complete with a redesigned profile for enhanced eye coverage and expanded compatibility for strong prescriptions, launches in Q1 2026.
