(Alliance News) - Tekcapital PLC on Thursday said its wholly-owned portfolio company Lucyd Ltd has filed a patent and trademark for its forthcoming voice-activated Vyrb app.
The intellectual property investment company said the app works with Bluetooth glasses with users to have the ability to use their smartphones using voice commands.
"We are glad to see Lucyd continue its innovation in the smart eyewear industry with its novel Vyrb app. We believe their new app will increase the utility of Lucyd Bluetooth glasses and wireless "hearables" like Airpods. It may also improve the safety of pedestrians and cyclists by enabling them to use their voice to create and respond to Twitter and Facebook posts, while keeping their eyes on the road," said Tekcapital Executive Chair Clifford Gross.
The app is scheduled for release in December.
Tekcapital shares closed 22% lower at 6.03 pence each on Thursday in London.
