Insights
Innovative Eyewear adds real-time translation to its Lucyd app, enhancing smart eyewear functionality with a strategic feature for travel and cross-language communication.
Innovative Eyewear (NASDAQ: LUCY) has introduced a voice-based translation feature to its Lucyd app, enabling real-time translation between 17 languages including Chinese, Japanese, and Arabic. This update represents a strategic enhancement to the company's software ecosystem that supports its Lucyd, Lucyd Armor, Reebok, Eddie Bauer, and Nautica smart eyewear brands.
The translation feature offers several technical advantages that address common pain points in wearable translation tools: it operates completely offline once languages are downloaded, requires no typing by using device-based language models for voice recognition, and provides both audio and visual translation output. The interface allows one person to use the glasses while another speaks to the phone, creating a natural conversation flow across language barriers.
From a product strategy perspective, this development is significant as translation functionality is widely considered a potential "killer app" for wearable technology. By offering this feature free to all users initially, Innovative Eyewear appears to be pursuing a freemium strategy, with plans to eventually make unlimited translations an incentive for Pro app subscribers ($7.99/month).
With 18,000 downloads of the Lucyd app already achieved without significant marketing efforts, this feature addition potentially strengthens the company's software value proposition. The company is clearly working to develop a comprehensive software ecosystem around its hardware products, following the proven business model of creating recurring revenue streams through software subscriptions that complement hardware sales.
We believe the new Translation feature is a strong addition to the app, that adds fluid, voice-based translations for users of Lucyd eyewear and other hearables. Translation is an often-cited use case for wearables, particularly useful for travel applications, and we believe it provides incredible new utility for Lucyd eyewear users. The feature is in open beta, available to all users on the latest version of the app. Feedback can be submitted via the support form within the app. A full release with expanded device compatibility is anticipated in the next month.Translation comes to the Lucyd app, free for all users.
Key features of the update:
- Translate between 17 languages in real time, including Chinese, Japanese and Arabic.
- Streamlined and flexible interface allows user to speak and hear their preferred language on Lucyd eyewear or their phone, while the other person speaks to and hears the phone in their preferred language.
- The app automatically speaks and displays translated phrases, so users can hear or read translations.
- No cumbersome typing, just pick your languages and start conversing.
- The user can rapidly switch between languages, with only a one-time brief load for languages to be downloaded when first used.
- The app uses native device language models for smooth rendering of voice input with no typing needed. Other translation apps often require typing for accurate non-English language inputs, while the Lucyd app runs well on voice alone thanks to the use of device-based languages.
- Once languages are downloaded, the translation function can be used completely offline, making it ideal for travel even in areas with no reception.
Harrison Gross, CEO of Innovative Eyewear, said "The Lucyd app is a vital tool for introducing new features to complement our smart eyewear releases, as well as providing valuable services to other Bluetooth device users who have not yet switched to Lucyd. In addition to bridging our users to the powerful ChatGPT AI via Siri and Bixby, the app has introduced other critical features such as Walkie. Now, with Lucyd Translate, our glasses become an incredible ally for travels abroad, and for speaking with colleagues across language barriers—even when missing an internet connection. Translation is an often-cited "killer app" for wearable products, and we are pleased to offer a refined, glasses-forward approach to this important feature. I highly encourage everyone reading this to download the Lucyd app and use it to facilitate your next cross-language conversation."
In advance of any significant marketing effort, the Lucyd app has been downloaded over 18,000 times. A paid Pro version of the app allows users to subscribe for
