About us
2019
We were founded by three like-minded tech entrepreneurs committed to developing the global standard in smart eyewear. We set out to build the first smart eyewear product that works just like regular glasses, while helping you stay connected to your digital life. Our initial funding came from crowdfunding and Tekcapital plc, a UK investment firm that transforms university innovations into new products to improve quality of life. For much of 2019, our efforts were devoted solely to smart eyewear testing and development.

2020
After a year of rigorous research and development, we launched a notable beta product, Lucyd Loud 2020, a sport-style audio sunglass. Loud 2020 taught our team a lot about what was needed to build a successful, mainstream smart eyewear product. In 2020, we also launched an over-subscribed regulation crowdfund, attracting nearly 4,000 tech-loving investors to our company and raising over $1m from a grassroots campaign.
Additionally, smart eyewear can potentially help with pedestrian and driver safety by helping maintain situational awareness compared to using in-ear headphones
2023
2023 was our biggest year yet! We launched the Lucyd app, powering the first-ever voice interface for ChatGPT on our glasses in April. We went on to license three notable fashion brands for smart eyewear: Nautica, Eddie Bauer and Reebok.
We plan to launch collections with all three of our new brands in 2024. We also sold more frames than ever before, as the Lucyd brand keeps growing and thrilling new customers the world over.
2025
2025 was the year of Lucyd X Reebok! We launched our exciting new sports line, Reebok Powered by Lucyd.
We also went on to introduce four new versions of Lucyd Armor smart safety glasses. Some other improvements in 2025 include our Translation and Walkie features in the Lucyd app, bringing powerful new functionality to all Lucyd frames.
