The audio-only EyeFly eyewear enables wearers to listen to music and podcasts, take calls, or interact with AI assistants through open-ear audio

Eyewear company, House of Modo, has introduced a new smart eyewear brand, EyeFly.

EyeFly has been designed for “people who are always in motion” the company said, integrating open-ear audio and hands-free connectivity into a spectacle frame.

Wearers will be able to listen to music and podcasts, take calls, or interact with artificial intelligence (AI) assistants through directional open-ear audio.

The frames have built-in microphones to support calls and voice interactions, with touch-sensitive temple controls for one-tap use.

Alessandro Lanaro, founder and global CEO of Modo, said: “With EyeFly, we are excited to enter the tech world with a product that condenses the real functionality of today’s wearable technology into frames that look and feel premium.”

As the device is audio-only, there is no visual capture or recording ability.

Lanaro said: “By focusing on audio only, we offer an open-ear experience that keeps you connected while preserving both your privacy and that of the person you are talking to.”

“For everyday use, we believe video is not only unnecessary but can even feel intrusive, which is why ‘Sound in Motion’ has such huge potential – and we intend to lead this new category in the optical industry,” he added.

A modular temple system design means the smart audio temples can be swapped for standard temples and the front of the frame is free of technology.

The company said: “One frame, two ways to wear it – smart when you need it, classic when you don’t.”

EyeFly, which weighs 40g, provides up to six hours of continuous listening or calling.
