Over the entire course of eyewear development and history, many of the innovations have dealt with improving the lenses of the glasses.
−Removed: Notably, eyewear frames have not improved much in the past 400 years, with the exception, in our view, of the utilization of plastic
−Removed: to reduce weight and provide a wider range of designs and finishes, and the introduction of new hinge types.
−Removed: We view the integration
−Removed: of Bluetooth technology into the arms of the glasses as one of the key next steps to Upgrade Your Eyewear ® .
−Removed: focus is to enhance one of the world’s most important wearables:
−Removed: Additionally,
−Removed: as part of our commitment to a great customer experience, we listen to feedback from our customers, and continuously strive to improve
−Removed: customer satisfaction and experience with our products.
−Removed: Our customers’ extensive feedback pointed to a need and desire for better
−Removed: interaction with social media while on-the-go.
−Removed: We are addressing this need by developing an exciting software application called Vyrb™,
−Removed: which enables Lucyd Lyte users to hear and reply to social media posts, with their voice, hands-free, through their glasses (“Vyrb”).
−Removed: Other Vyrb users will be able hear these posts.
−Removed: Additionally, Vyrb offers Lucyd Lyte users external social media sharing features, which
−Removed: allow posts made on Vyrb to be exported to other platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
−Removed: We launched Vyrb in December 2021
−Removed: for both iOS and Android, and we believe that Vyrb is one of the first social applications designed specifically with a focus on smart
−Removed: glasses and other voice enabled wearables.
−Removed: We subsequently expanded Vyrb’s capabilities through software upgrades released in the
−Removed: fourth quarter of 2022, and anticipate the commercial launch of Vyrb in the fourth quarter of 2023.
−Removed: have made strong strides towards our goal of making smart eyewear accessible to the mass market.
−Removed: Several developments towards this end
−Removed: include developing our smart frames in two temple lengths, with a third length planned for 2023;
−Removed: the introduction of smart eyewear specifically
−Removed: for women and youth, which are typically missing from similar offerings;
−Removed: and the introduction of smart eyewear for adults with petite
−Removed: or narrow faces.
−Removed: In addition, we have launched an expansive offering consisting of 16 version 1.0 models and 15 version 2.0 models so
−Removed: far, which offer a similar amount of style variety as many traditional eyewear collections.

We’ve partnered with New Eyes because they fit the Lucyd brand mission:
−Removed: the vision of people all over the world, and we believe that it simply is the right thing to do.
−Removed: Additionally,
−Removed: university students, educators, healthcare workers, uniformed service members, and veterans are eligible for an ongoing 18% discount

−Removed: Competitive Strengths
−Removed: Unique Solution to a Common Problem .
−Removed: While immensely useful, smartphones can present a safety hazard to motorists,
−Removed: pedestrians and cyclists because smartphones can distract people from the task or activity at hand.
−Removed: In 2021, pedestrian deaths were at
−Removed: a 40-year high according to the Governors Highway Safety Association, and experts believe smartphones were partially to blame.
−Removed: data from the Governors Highway Safety Association indicates that from 2010 to 2020, the number of pedestrian deaths rose by 54%, while
−Removed: all other traffic deaths increased by 13% (Pedestrian Traffic Fatalities by State:
+Added: enhancing the vision of people all over the world, and we believe that it simply is the right thing to do.
+Added: We have also participated in a partnership with the Miami Rescue Mission to support our local community with eyewear.
+Added: Our most recent donation was in December 2023 and consisted of 3000 eyeglass, sunglass, and reading glass frames.
+Added: Additionally, university students, educators, healthcare workers, uniformed service members, and veterans are eligible for an ongoing 18% discount off all frames and lens upgrades on www.lucyd.co .
+Added: Our Market Opportunity
+Added: One of our key opportunities is converting traditional eyeglass and sunglass wearers to smart eyewear consumers since these customers are already familiar with wearing optical products.
+Added: According to a 2021 report of the Vision Council, a non-profit trade association that serves member companies of the optical industry, there are 167 million prescription and 224 million non-prescription glasses wearers in the United States.
+Added: As many as four billion people worldwide wear glasses, according to an article published by Reference.com in April 2020.
+Added: According to Statista, the total addressable market for eyewear in the U.S.
+Added: is projected to be $35.2 billion in 2024.
+Added: The market for digital assistants like Siri, Google Voice, Bixby, and Alexa has grown rapidly worldwide, and is projected at $4.5 billion in revenue in 2023.
+Added: We view the popularity of voice assistants as an important catalyst for the smart eyewear market since hands-free access to voice-based AI is a notable feature thereof.
+Added: The common denominator among markets for the hearables and digital assistant is that they facilitate real-time access to digital data, whether it is through music, calls, navigational directions, or information, among other uses.
+Added: The combination of hearables and digital assistants provides a transparent, ergonomic interface between the users and their digital lives.
+Added: At Innovative Eyewear, we are dedicated to a touch-free interface and untethering our customers eyes from their smartphone screens, through our smart eyewear product.
+Added: The synergistic fusion of these three markets (eyewear, digital assistants, and hearables) enables, in our view, an opportunity to create a completely new experience of connected eyewear, which smoothly delivers the functionality of both optical glasses and headphones, eliminating the need for either on its own.
+Added: Nevertheless, several orthodoxies of the eyewear industry still hold, namely:
+Added: if you want to sell a lot of eyewear, we believe it should be attractive, stylish, comfortable (e.g., lightweight, which we believe to be approximately one ounce), and cost roughly the same as traditional eyewear.
+Added: This is what we have sought to achieve, and in our view have accomplished with the introduction of Lucyd Lyte eyewear.
+Added: A key indicator of the potential future success of smart eyewear in the consumer market is the rise of smartwatches, which as early as 2018 have intermittently surpassed traditional wristwatches in unit sales in the United States.
+Added: We believe that the similarities between smartwatches and smart eyewear compared to their traditional counterparts indicate that the future of eyewear will also be smart .
+Added: Our Business Strategy
+Added: When we initially organized Innovative Eyewear four years ago, there was, in our view, no attractive smart eyewear that addressed the basic consumer need for good looking designer glasses that were stylish, comfortable, lightweight, and provided the functionality of hearables, and priced around the same as regular glasses.
+Added: At the core of our strategy are the following principles:
+Added: Consumers prefer smart eyewear that looks and feels like traditional glasses and sunglasses;
+Added: this is a key element in the design of all of our frames, and makes it easier for traditional eyewear users to switch to our products.
+Added: For a smart eyewear line to achieve mass market penetration, it should cost a similar amount to traditional designer eyewear, especially while the category is still emerging and most consumers and not yet familiar with it.
+Added: Smart eyewear must be user-friendly and have an interface that is easy to navigate by the wearer, even when their hands are wet or gloved.
+Added: As such, we deploy highly tactile interfaces on our eyewear.
+Added: The battery life of smart eyewear should be sufficient to support smart functionalities throughout the day without needing to be recharged mid-day.
+Added: Rather than burdening our hardware with mechanical features such as cameras and microdisplays which may be unnecessary for many users, we instead leverage software platforms that can add functionality without increasing the weight or size of the frames.
+Added: By adhering to the above principles, we can eliminate any “costs of switching” from traditional eyewear to smart eyewear, and build customer lifetime value by offering a more powerful combination of fashion, smart features, and vision correction and protection than available from other companies.
+Added: All of our products are designed in Miami, manufactured in China, and sold through e-commerce channels, including on our website (Lucyd.co), BestBuy.com, DicksSportingGoods.com, Brookstone.com, and Amazon.com, and sold by over 300 optical and sporting goods retailers.
+Added: Additionally, we are pursuing online and in-store big box retailers, and in-store and online specialty retailers.
+Added: Based on the existing demand for our products, current distribution, and recently consummated supply agreements, we anticipate that our products will be available in a significant number of new third-party retail locations in 2024.
+Added: We believe that people care about what they wear on their faces, and because we understand that customers have diverse preferences about the shape, size, and design of their eyewear, we aim to continuously introduce new models in an effort to offer a wide variety of designs.
+Added: We continuously present new models of eyewear to our network of followers to vote on those styles they find most appealing.
+Added: We view this as community approved design.
+Added: The smart eyewear industry in which we operate is competitive and subject to changes in practice.
+Added: While we believe that our products are a hybrid of eyeglasses and Bluetooth audio technology, which gives us a unique product that provides us with competitive advantages, we may face competition from many different entities now and in the future.
+Added: Currently, we face competition from the following products:
+Added: Bose Corporation’s Bose Frames .
+Added: These are a Bluetooth eyewear product, but in a bulkier form factor and with what we believe to be comparable audio quality at a higher list price ($249 MSRP) than Lucyd Lyte 2.0 ($149-$199).
+Added: However, Bose has recently announced plans to withdraw from the smart eyewear market.
+Added: Key advantages of Lucyd Lyte over Bose Frames :
+Added: Our glasses are lighter weight, have twice the playback battery life, are offered in 29 styles compared to three styles for Bose, and have a more traditional optical form factor for all-day wear.
+Added: Amazon’s Carrera Echo Glasses (Third Gen) .
+Added: Another entry in the Bluetooth eyewear space, offered at a $329 - $389 list price.
+Added: Not available directly from the manufacturer in prescription, and in only two frame shapes.
+Added: The cost of the Amazon Echo Glasses is higher than Lucyd Lyte.
+Added: While lightweight like Lucyd Lyte glasses, Amazon Echo Glasses have, in our view, a less fashionable form factor, and the battery life is about half of that of Lucyd Lyte.
+Added: Key advantages of Lucyd Lyte over Echo Glasses :
+Added: Our glasses are not “always-listening” for voice commands like Echo Frames are (which raises privacy concerns and reduces battery life), our glasses are available in 29 styles compared to two for the latest Echo Frames, our glasses look more seamless so they better match the form factor of traditional eyewear, and our glasses are more affordable at $149 - $199.
+Added: Snapchat Spectacles .
+Added: This is a camera-focused smart eyewear product and, in our view, not a direct competitor with our products due to its style, weight, pricing, and suitability for all-day wear.
+Added: However, Snapchat Spectacles may introduce further entries in the space that may directly compete with Lucyd Lyte.
+Added: Snapchat Spectacles version 3 have a list price of $380.
+Added: Key advantages of Lucyd Lyte over Spectacles :
+Added: Our glasses have more audio and AI features, are lighter and prescription-ready, are available in many more styles than this single SKU (stock-keeping unit) line, and cost half the price.
+Added: Ray-Ban Meta Glasses .
+Added: Developed in association with Facebook, these are a camera-focused smart eyewear product, and despite the fact they are available in prescription, in our view not a direct competitor.
+Added: Ray-Ban may, however, introduce further entries in the space that may directly compete with Lucyd Lyte.
+Added: Ray-Ban Spectacles have a well-known and respected brand, and a list price starting at $299, which makes them 100% more expensive than base models of Lucyd Lyte.
+Added: Key advantages of Lucyd Lyte over Meta Glasses :
+Added: Stories weigh considerably more than Lucyd Lyte glasses (20% - 70% more, depending upon the Lyte model), have a shorter battery life, thicker temple profiles, are not water resistant, and the cameras and required connection to a Facebook account raise privacy concerns.
+Added: All of the competitors discussed above have substantially greater manufacturing, financial, research and development, personnel, and marketing resources than we do.
+Added: As a result, although we believe our products are currently superior, our competitors may be able to develop superior products, and compete more aggressively and sustain their competitive advantage over a longer period of time than us.
+Added: Our products may be rendered obsolete in the face of competition.
+Added: Our Competitive Strengths
+Added: A Unique Solution to a Common Problem .
+Added: While immensely useful, smartphones can present a safety hazard to motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists because smartphones can distract people from the task or activity at hand.
+Added: In 2022, pedestrian deaths were at a 40-year high according to the Governors Highway Safety Association, and experts believe smartphones were partially to blame.
+Added: Recent data from the Governors Highway Safety Association indicates that from 2010 to 2021, the number of pedestrian deaths rose by 77%, while all other traffic deaths increased by 25% (Pedestrian Traffic Fatalities by State:
2022 Preliminary Data – (https://www.ghsa.org/resources/Pedestrians23).
We believe that the distraction created by smartphones originates in two forms:
−Removed: (1) via headphones or earbuds, where the user is
−Removed: deprived of full audible situational awareness;
−Removed: and, (2) via the visual interface of the phone, which distracts the user completely from
−Removed: their surroundings.
−Removed: Lucyd Lyte open ear audio helps address this problem by having the speakers mounted at the temples (in the arms)
−Removed: of the glasses.
−Removed: There is nothing in the ear canal and, as a result, individuals can better maintain situational awareness, such as hearing
−Removed: the traffic around them, as well as nearby sounds.
−Removed: Many of our competitors have relatively bulky speakers enclosed within the temples,
−Removed: while Lucyd Lyte’s speakers and temples are thin, which allows them to look similar to traditional designer glasses.
−Removed: through the quick and easy touch controls on the Lucyd Lyte, the wearer can perform many tasks that they would normally pull out their
−Removed: phone for, untethering the eyes of the user from their smartphones throughout the day and enabling them to remain more visually vigilant
−Removed: and aware of the traffic around them.
−Removed: Price Point .
−Removed: Our Lucyd Lyte eyewear provides both optical-quality glasses and a Bluetooth headset together,
−Removed: at roughly the same price as a traditional pair of designer glasses, which is core to the disruptive potential of our product.
−Removed: Lyte line of smart eyewear enables prescription and sunglass wearers to interact with digital assistants and social media without having
−Removed: to take their eyes off the road and are nearly handsfree, thereby improving the safety and convenience of taking calls, listening to
−Removed: music and audibly accessing digital information on the go.
−Removed: The Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (“MSRP”) for Lucyd
−Removed: Lyte 2.0 eyewear starts at $199, with advanced options and customizations available at higher price points, which are at the discretion
−Removed: of the customer.
+Added: (1) via headphones or earbuds, where the user is deprived of full audible situational awareness;

+Added: Lucyd Lyte open-ear audio helps address this problem by having the speakers mounted at the temples (in the arms) of the glasses.
+Added: There is nothing in the ear canal and, as a result, individuals can better maintain situational awareness, such as hearing the traffic around them, as well as nearby sounds.
+Added: Many of our competitors have relatively bulky speakers enclosed within the temples, while Lucyd Lyte’s speakers and temples are thin, which allows them to look similar to traditional designer glasses.
+Added: Furthermore, through the quick and easy touch controls on Lucyd Lyte glasses, the wearer can perform many tasks for which they would normally pull out their phone – thus our glasses help untether the eyes of the user from their smartphones throughout the day and enable them to remain more visually vigilant and aware of the traffic around them.

−Removed: Social Audio App
−Removed: believe eyewear should enable customers to freely interact with social media.
−Removed: While digital assistants, once enabled, can provide the
−Removed: basis for this interaction, we believe that the ability to receive and send social media posts with an individual’s voice may greatly
−Removed: enhance ease of use of these platforms on the go.
−Removed: To facilitate this, we have been developing Vyrb, our full stack social media application
−Removed: that enables the user to receive and send posts through Lucyd Lyte smart glasses with an individual’s voice.
−Removed: The application launched
−Removed: out of beta in December 2021, and the further development of the Vyrb app is continuing on pace, with two major features launched
−Removed: in December 2022:
−Removed: the ability to host live audio streams with up to 100 visitors and six live speakers at a time;
−Removed: and the ability
−Removed: to import external audio files into Vyrb, which allows longstanding podcasters and other content creators to add their content libraries

−Removed: Vyrb in the fourth quarter of 2023.
−Removed: At or soon after this time, advertising and monetization features will be introduced into the app
−Removed: to make it a new revenue stream for our business.
−Removed: believe that Vyrb will enhance the utility of current and future Lucyd Lyte glasses by enabling users to be untethered from their smartphones,
−Removed: yet still be able to hear and make social media posts.
+Added: Landstrom to act as our commission-based manufacturer’s representative, with the exclusive right to solicit offers on behalf of us to purchase our products in the United States, for the named big box stores.
+Added: The term of the Representation Agreement is five years, and the contract may be terminated for “good cause” with 90 days’ notice by either party.
+Added: Upon termination, commissions of orders procured will extend 180 days beyond the termination date.
+Added: Thus far, the Representation Agreement has resulted in a successful launch of the Company’s products on BestBuy.com.
+Added: Proprietary Software Sharpens our Competitive Edge
+Added: The Lucyd app was launched in April 2023 to provide voice access to ChatGPT in Lucyd eyewear.
+Added: This is a simple and powerful app that provides significant new AI functionality to our glasses at no additional cost to the user, differentiating our products from other smart eyewear.
+Added: The app also sports a powerful visual interface for interacting with ChatGPT in a variety of ways.
+Added: Additional functionalities are planned for the Lucyd app, such as the ability to hear topic-specific newsfeeds, and access audiobook and music content through voice commands.
+Added: Additionally, the Company plans to add typical headphone app features such as sound mixing, warranty registration, and customization of button mappings.
+Added: The Lucyd app, in addition to being an onramp into AI, is planned to be a “gearbox” for Lucyd eyewear to allow further user customization of the product experience.
+Added: Although we plan to continue to provide the app for free to glasses customers, we plan to add a Pro version of the app which will be a paid subscription, and free use given to glasses customers will be time limited to 6-12 months, after which the user will need to pay a nominal monthly fee for unlimited access to GPT (and potentially other AI services in the future).
+Added: We believe this will enable a new software revenue stream for the business and allow us to capture revenue from users of other hearables such as Apple Airpods that want an audio interface for ChatGPT.
+Added: Vyrb™ Social Audio App
+Added: We believe smart eyewear, along with other wearables, has the potential to be a more convenient and ergonomic onramp to social media than smartphones and PCs.
+Added: While digital assistants, once enabled, can provide the basis for this interaction, we believe that the ability to receive and send social media posts with an individual’s voice may greatly enhance ease of use of these platforms on the go.
+Added: To facilitate this, we have been developing Vyrb, our full stack social media application that enables the user to receive and send posts through Lucyd Lyte smart glasses with an individual’s voice.
+Added: The beta application launched in December 2021, and the full release is anticipated for 2024 once additional improvements to the user experience are completed.
+Added: At or soon after this time, advertising and monetization features will be introduced into the app to make it a new revenue stream for our business.
+Added: Vyrb enhances the utility of current and future Lucyd Lyte glasses by enabling users to be untethered from their smartphones, yet still be able to hear and make social media posts.
A goal of our products is to free our customers from other technologies.
−Removed: we are designing Vyrb with a transparent, voice-centric interface in mind, so that as soon as our customers can say “Ok Google,”
−Removed: they are connected to a world of engaging audio content and have the ability to create audio posts and messages.
−Removed: We believe social interaction
−Removed: via smart eyewear will be instrumental in bringing new, youthful customers to our company.
−Removed: number of companies recently have started to launch voice mediated social media applications, such as Clubhouse, Discord, Audlist, Listen
−Removed: We are designing Vyrb to host audiobooks, podcasts and entire music albums on the platform.
−Removed: With Vyrb, Lucyd Lyte customers
−Removed: are able to hear their social media feeds, post messages, hold gatherings and musical performances (by inviting other Vyrb users to connect
−Removed: with each other at a specific date and time), and enjoy social media with the authenticity of their own voice, all through their eyewear
−Removed: and without taking their phone out of their pocket.
−Removed: Product and Market for Vyrb
−Removed: is being designed as a full social media experience to enhance voice-based communications on wearables and mobile devices.
−Removed: The sophistication
−Removed: of Vyrb’s interface enables a large array of in-app purchases and subscriptions, as well as easy connectivity with the Lucyd Lyte
−Removed: line of smart eyewear.
−Removed: In addition to an ad-driven revenue model that is typical of social media applications, the robust and highly
−Removed: variable selection of planned in-app purchases provide important improvements and fine-tuned customizations to help personalize the user
−Removed: We plan to roll out these and other exciting features of Vyrb over the course of several software updates.
−Removed: Vyrb app is contemplated to feature an in-app item shop with a number of fun and useful upgrades, such as:
−Removed: ● Loot Boxes — Random packs of multiple upgrade items, a best-selling in-app purchase
−Removed: format frequently deployed in online video games.
−Removed: ● Skins — Items that alter the appearance of the app to help personalize it to the user’s
−Removed: preferences, such as Dark Mode.
−Removed: ● Accents — Items that change the accent used by the app’s text-to-speech engine,

−Removed: to the user, livening up their posts.
+Added: As such, we are designing Vyrb with a transparent, voice-centric interface, so that as soon as our customers can say “OK Google,” they are connected to a world of engaging audio content and have the ability to create audio posts and messages.
+Added: We believe social interaction via smart eyewear will be instrumental in bringing new, youthful customers to our company.

−Removed: ● Vyrb Gold — A premium, monthly subscription to the app that blocks all ads and brings
−Removed: additional benefits like a more prominent username.
−Removed: ● Vyrb Gems — In-app currency that can be spent to tip a user’s favorite content
−Removed: creators, to buy premium paywalled content and to buy certain other in-app purchases.
−Removed: Gems can also be traded to other users for their

−Removed: Users will also be rewarded Gems for their engagement with ads on the platform, creating a positive

−Removed: We believe Vyrb is strategically positioned to become a prime advertisement space, allowing both visual and audible advertisements to
−Removed: be purchased.
−Removed: Vyrb ads will be shown in a user’s regular newsfeed, which we believe will create an opportunity and need for a subscription
−Removed: in-app purchase (Vyrb Gold) for a premium, ad-free browsing experience.
−Removed: For ease of use, Vyrb ads can be created by any user through
−Removed: the application in just moments:
−Removed: users will be able to purchase “Ad Token” items from the in-app store, and then use these
−Removed: tokens to turn standard posts into wide-reaching ads.
−Removed: A rapid-response reporting system will be developed and monitored to remove objectionable
−Removed: or illegal content from the platform.
−Removed: With its focus on high quality audio, we are designing Vyrb to lift up professional and creative
−Removed: audio content developers by helping them reach new audiences.
−Removed: To ensure a positive user experience, we are developing a system in Vyrb
−Removed: which will automatically promote positively reviewed content, and automatically remove content that has been reported in a high ratio
−Removed: compared to the number of viewers, providing the basis for user product discovery as well as a failsafe against any mistake in our manual
−Removed: and algorithmic moderation of the application’s hosted content.
−Removed: users will be able to purchase and support content from indie and professional creators via an in-app currency (referred to as “ gems ”
−Removed: in this document, a virtual point the user typically accumulates by viewing ad content or by purchasing them).
−Removed: Creators will receive
−Removed: gems from typical users as tips during live broadcasts, and in exchange for access to premium posts.
−Removed: The creators will then be able to
−Removed: cash out these gems at an exchange rate that provides profit to Vyrb.
−Removed: For example, users purchase the gems, its in-app loyalty token
−Removed: at a rate of $1 each, but creators only receive $0.75 for each gem they cash out.
−Removed: A 25% effective platform fee would put the content
−Removed: transaction fees of Vyrb at a lower rate than most digital content marketplaces.
−Removed: In the case of typical livestreaming applications, a
−Removed: functionality Vyrb supports, they are often exorbitant, taking as much as 50% in effective fees on in-app currency transactions.
−Removed: acquire the gems, users must buy them in the Vyrb Shop or gain them by engaging with sufficient ad content (e.g., using the application
−Removed: for an hour, or an amount of time that effectively pays for the gem).
−Removed: While Vyrb allows users the flexibility of choice of either buying
−Removed: or earning these gems, we believe that there is a huge revenue stream potential for us through a strategic implementation of the Vyrb
−Removed: Shop and peer-to-peer content transactions.
−Removed: we plan for users to be able to charge a fixed price to be able to access particular audio posts.
−Removed: For example, this feature could be
−Removed: used by a podcaster to sell their premium episodes, or by a recording artist to sell their music albums.
−Removed: In tandem with this feature,
−Removed: audio posts will be divisible into tracks to support long form content such as albums and audiobooks.
−Removed: Vyrb will take a flat percentage
−Removed: fee on all sales of premium content within the application by allowing creators to cash out gems they receive for selling their content.
−Removed: We believe the major benefit of this system is that it will provide audio content creators a new platform for rapidly creating, listing
−Removed: and selling their content, and help create an environment full of rich, unique and interactive audio experiences such as live “radio
−Removed: shows,” indie content and virtual concerts for typical Vyrb users.
−Removed: believe that Vyrb will effectively leverage multiple successful gamification models from the world of social media to provide a flexible
−Removed: and highly interactive user experience that can potentially draw high-value content creators.
−Removed: A fundamental aspiration of Vyrb is to
−Removed: provide a new platform and source of revenue for high quality audio content creators in particular;
−Removed: to that end, we designed Vyrb with
−Removed: a goal of providing a rapid, user-friendly platform for creators and consumers to share, sell and enjoy the best audio the web has to
−Removed: We believe that through Vyrb, we can make the interaction between our users and our product a fun and rewarding experience, which
−Removed: can also be monetized by the company and content creators alike.
−Removed: By putting audio front and center, we hope to provide a new meeting
−Removed: ground for audio content creators and those who enjoy lots of music, podcasts and talk shows.
−Removed: We hope to provide a mutually beneficial
−Removed: relationship, where Vyrb takes a reasonable fee on the transacting of these parties in exchange for bringing them together.
−Removed: smart eyewear industry in which we operate is competitive and subject to changes in practice.
−Removed: While we believe that our products are
−Removed: hybrid of eyeglasses and audio technology, which gives us a unique product that provides us with competitive advantages, we may face
−Removed: competition from many different entities now and in the future.
−Removed: As of now, we face competition from the following products:
−Removed: ● Bose Corporation’s Bose Frames .
−Removed: These are a Bluetooth eyewear product,
−Removed: but in a bulkier form factor and with what we believe to be comparable models at a higher list price ($249 MSRP) than Lucyd Lyte 2.0 ($199).
−Removed: ● Amazon’s Echo Glasses .
−Removed: Another entry in the Bluetooth eyewear space
−Removed: offered at a $249 list price.
−Removed: Not available directly from the manufacturer in prescription, and in only one frame shape.
−Removed: The cost of the
−Removed: Amazon Echo Glasses is higher than Lucyd Lyte.
−Removed: While lightweight like Lucyd Lyte glasses, Amazon Echo Glasses have, in our view, a less
−Removed: fashionable form factor, and the battery life is about half of that of Lucyd Lyte.
−Removed: ● Snapchat Spectacles .
−Removed: This is a camera-focused smart eyewear product and,
−Removed: in our view, not a direct competitor as to its style, weight, pricing and suitability for all-day wear, as compared with our products;
−Removed: however, Snapchat Spectacles may introduce further entries in the space that may directly compete with Lucyd Lyte.
−Removed: Snapchat Spectacles
−Removed: Version 3 have a list price of $380.
−Removed: ● Ray-Ban Stories Glasses .
−Removed: Developed in association with Facebook, are a camera-focused
−Removed: smart eyewear product, and despite the fact they are available in prescription, in our view not a direct competitor;
−Removed: Ray-Ban may, however,
−Removed: introduce further entries in the space that may directly compete with Lucyd Lyte.
−Removed: Ray-Ban Spectacles have a well-known and respected brand,
−Removed: and a list price starting at $299, which makes them 50% more expensive than Lucyd Lyte.
−Removed: They weigh considerably more (20-70% depending
−Removed: upon the Lyte model) than Lucyd Lyte glasses, have a shorter battery life, thicker temple profiles and are not water resistant.
−Removed: of the competitors discussed above have substantially greater manufacturing, financial, research and development, personnel and marketing
−Removed: resources than we do.
−Removed: As a result, although we believe our products are currently superior, our competitors may be able to develop superior
−Removed: products, and compete more aggressively and sustain their competitive advantage over a longer period of time than us.
−Removed: Our products may
−Removed: be rendered obsolete in the face of competition.
−Removed: of December 31, 2022, we had 9 full time employees with two in product development, two in sales, one in finance, one in customer
−Removed: service, one in marketing, one in graphic design and one in video production.
−Removed: Employees are supported by a number of consultants and
−Removed: part time employees, including a group of 8 independent sales representatives.

−Removed: report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, proxy statements on Schedule 14A,
−Removed: and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act as soon as reasonably
−Removed: practicable after we electronically file such materials with, or furnish them to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
