PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information that you should consider before investing in our Company. You should carefully read the entire prospectus, including all documents incorporated by reference herein. In particular, attention should be directed to our “Risk Factors,” “Information With Respect to the Company,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the financial statements and related notes thereto contained herein or otherwise incorporated by reference hereto, before making an investment decision.

Our Company

We develop and sell smart eyeglasses and sunglasses, which are designed to allow our customers to remain connected to their digital lives, while also offering prescription eyewear and sun protection. Founded and headquartered in Miami, Florida, we were initially organized as a Florida limited liability company effective August 15, 2019. We were founded by Lucyd Ltd., the inventor and licensor of the technology that our products are based upon, which is a portfolio company of Tekcapital Europe Ltd. (“Tekcapital”). Tekcapital is a U.K. based university intellectual property accelerator which builds portfolio companies around new technologies. On March 26, 2020, we converted from a Florida limited liability company into a Florida corporation.

In January 2020, we introduced our first beta product and began market testing.

In January 2021, we officially launched our first commercial product, Lucyd Lyte^® (“Lucyd Lyte”). This initial product offering embodied our goal of creating smart eyewear for all day wear that looks like and is priced similarly to designer eyewear, but is also light weight and comfortable, and enables the wearer to remain connected to their digital lives. The product was initially launched with six styles, and in September 2021, an additional six styles were added.

In February 2023, we launched version 2.0 of our Lucyd Lyte eyewear with 15 different styles, incorporating several key breakthroughs for the smart eyewear product category – including a four-speaker audio array, 12-hour music playback and call time, and improved styling as well as technical upgrades. In October 2023, we launched six new styles of smart eyewear, branded as Lyte XL, bringing even more advancements – including patent-pending flexible hinges for a more comfortable fit and a wider range of suitable head sizes, significant improvements to speaker and microphone quality, thinner and more ergonomic temples, and post-consumer recycled packaging.

In January 2024, we launched the Nautica^® Powered by Lucyd smart eyewear collection in eight different styles, along with various branded accessories including a power brick, cleaning cloth. and a slipcase adorned with the iconic Nautica sail logo.

Our current product offering consists of 29 different models, which offers a similar amount of style variety as many traditional eyewear collections. All styles are each available with 80+ different lens types, resulting in thousands of variations of products currently available. The company currently has over 100 licensed patent and applications.

Our smartglasses enable the wearer to listen to music, take and make calls, and use voice assistants to perform many common smartphone tasks hands-free. Some of the many things our customers can do with their Lucyd Lyte glasses include:

“Send a voice message to (contact)”: this command begins the recording of an audio message to be sent to named contact.

“Send a text to (contact)”: begins recording of a speech-to-text message to be sent by SMS to named contact.

“Call (contact)”: speed-dials the named contact.

“Send $___ to (contact)”: this command allows our user to send money to a contact via Venmo or Apple Pay. Follow the digital assistant’s prompts to confirm.

“Check my messages”: this command reads out our user’s latest incoming text messages and offers a prompt to reply to each. Close out the digital assistant to end the readout.

“Check my mailbox”: this command announces the number of unread emails, and reads them out with a prompt to continue after each one. In the prompt after each one, our customers can tell their digital assistant “Reply” and dictate an email response to the previous email.

“Find (cuisine type) food nearby”: this command reads through a list of nearby restaurants and their ratings, and prompts our user for directions or to call after each one.

“Call me an Uber”: this command prompts the user on which type of Uber ride they want, then asks to confirm to send a car to our user’s location.

“What time is it?”: announces the current time.

10.

“Play (song/album/artist)”: this command begins playing the requested song, album, or artist via Apple Music.

11.

“Get me directions to (location)”: this command begins navigating on phone, with audible directions on glasses.

12.

“Take a memo”: this command begins recording a speech-to-text memo in Notes. Say “Read my Notes” to play back.

Since the launch of Lucyd Lyte, we witnessed interest and demand from customers throughout the United States and have sold thousands of our smart glasses. Within six months of the launch of Lucyd Lyte, several optical stores in the United States and Canada have on-boarded the product and we have had discussions with several other large eyewear chains (by number of locations) regarding on-boarding our product. We believe smart eyewear is a product category whose time has come, and we believe we are well positioned to capitalize on and help develop this exciting new sector – where eyewear meets electronics in a user-friendly, mass market format, priced similarly to designer eyewear.

In first quarter of 2022 we introduced a virtual try-on kiosk for select retail stores. This device introduces our products to prospective retail customers and enables them to digitally try-on our line of smart glasses in a touch-free manner. This system was later upgraded in 2023.

We completed development of many new styles of smart eyewear for our new licensed brands in 2023, anticipating all three licensed collections to launch in 2024. In addition, we completed the following upgrades to accessory products in 2023:

●

The patent-pending Lucyd charging dock was upgraded to a version 2.0 edition, featuring auto-adjusting connectors to fit any size of smart eyewear we produce, a new charging status LED, and USB data capability, enabling it to be used as a USB hub for computers in addition to a charging hub.

●

The Lucyd virtual try-on kiosk was replaced with a fully modular display system, with eight available components for stores to mix and match to suit their display needs. The display can be countertop or freestanding, making it suitable for almost any retail environment.

The Vyrb app launched in open beta on iOS and Android app stores in 2021, as the Company’s first social media platform.

In 2022, we introduced key features in the Vyrb app, including live broadcasts for up to 100 users in one digital “room,” and the ability to upload external audio content into Vyrb, enabling longstanding content creators to import their existing libraries swiftly into the platform.

In the first quarter of 2023, we introduced several new features for the Vyrb app, including market-leading audio accessibility features for social media, such as the ability to create and listen to a feed of audio content completely hands-free, using unique voice assistant commands created for the app. We plan to continue to develop the expansive Vyrb platform into a feature-rich social toolbox for customers. This includes the introduction of revenue-generating features such as native ads and in-app upgrades, as well as gamification features such as a points and rewards system. Some new features are planned to launch in 2024, including a fully upgraded user interface. Once this update to the interface is completed, the app will be considered officially launched, and the Company will begin to promote it and capitalize on it in earnest.

In April 2023, we introduced another major software upgrade for our glasses with the launch of the Lucyd app for iOS and Android. This free application enables the user to converse with the extremely popular ChatGPT AI language model on the glasses, to instantly gain the benefit of one of the world’s most powerful AI assistants in a hands-free ergonomic interface. The app deploys a powerful and unique Siri integration with the Open AI API for ChatGPT, developed internally by the company. The Company has filed a patent application directed to this software upgrade. We believe this development makes our Lucyd eyewear perhaps the smartest smartglasses available today, represents a significant marketing opportunity for the Company’s core smartglass product, and creates a potential in-app purchase revenue stream for the Company.

Our Market Opportunity

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. 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. As many as four billion people worldwide wear glasses, according to an article published by Reference.com in April 2020.

According to Statista, the total addressable market for eyewear in the U.S. is projected to be $35.2 billion in 2024. 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. We view the popularity of hearables as an important catalyst for the smart eyewear market since hands-free access to voice-based AI is a notable feature thereof.

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. The combination of hearables and digital assistants provides a transparent, ergonomic interface between the users and their digital lives. 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.

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. Nevertheless, several orthodoxies of the eyewear industry still hold, namely: 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. This is what we have sought to achieve, and in our view have accomplished with the introduction of Lucyd Lyte eyewear.

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 US. 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.

Our Business Strategy

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, provided the functionality of hearables, and priced around the same as regular glasses.

At the core of our strategy are the following principles:

Consumers prefer smart eyewear that looks and feels like traditional glasses and sunglasses; 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.

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.

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. As such, we deploy highly tactile interfaces on our eyewear.

The battery life of smart eyewear should be sufficient to support smart functionalities throughout the day without needing to be recharged mid-day.

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.

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.

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. Additionally, we are pursuing online and in-store big box retailers, and in-store and online specialty retailers. 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.

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. We continuously present new models of eyewear to our network of followers to vote on those styles they find most appealing. We view this as community-approved design.

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. 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 US. As many as four billion people worldwide wear glasses, according to an article published by Reference.com in April 2020.

Competition

The smart eyewear industry in which we operate is competitive and subject to changes in practice. While we believe that our products are hybrid of eyeglasses and 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. As of now, we face competition from the following products:

●

Bose Corporation’s Bose Frames. 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 ($199). However, Bose has recently announced plans to withdraw from the smart eyewear market.

Key advantages of Lucyd Lyte over Bose Frames: 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.

●

Amazon’s Carrera Echo Glasses (Third Gen). Another entry in the Bluetooth eyewear space, offered at a $329 - $389 list price. Not available directly from the manufacturer in prescription, and in only two frame shapes. The cost of the Amazon Echo Glasses is higher than Lucyd Lyte. 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.

Key advantages of Lucyd Lyte over Echo Glasses: 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.

●

Snapchat Spectacles. 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. However, Snapchat Spectacles may introduce further entries in the space that may directly compete with Lucyd Lyte. Snapchat Spectacles version 3 have a list price of $380.

Key advantages of Lucyd Lyte over Spectacles: Our glasses have more audio and AI features, our glasses are lighter and prescription-ready, are available in many more styles than this single SKU (stock-keeping unit) line, and cost half the price.

●

Ray-Ban Meta Glasses. Developed in association with Facebook, are a camera-focused smart eyewear product, and despite the fact they are available in prescription, in our view not a direct competitor. Ray-Ban may, however, introduce further entries in the space that may directly compete with Lucyd Lyte. Ray-Ban Spectacles have a well-known and respected brand, and a list price starting at $299, which makes them 100% more expensive than Lucyd Lyte.

Key advantages of Lucyd Lyte over Stories: 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.

All of the competitors discussed above have substantially greater manufacturing, financial, research and development, personnel, and marketing resources than we do. 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. Our products may be rendered obsolete in the face of competition.

Our Competitive Strengths

A Unique Solution to a Common Problem. 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. 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. 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: (1) via headphones or earbuds, where the user is deprived of full audible situational awareness; and (2) via the visual interface of the phone, which distracts the user completely from their surroundings. Lucyd Lyte open-ear audio helps address this problem by having the speakers mounted at the temples (in the arms) of the glasses. 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. 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. Furthermore, through the quick and easy touch controls on the Lucyd Lyte, 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.

Affordable Price Point. Our Lucyd Lyte eyewear provides both optical-quality glasses and a Bluetooth headset together, at roughly the same price as a traditional pair of designer glasses, which is core to the disruptive potential of our product. Our Lucyd Lyte line of smart eyewear enables prescription and sunglass wearers to interact with digital assistants and social media without having to take their eyes off the road and are nearly hands-free, thereby improving the safety and convenience of taking calls, listening to music, and audibly accessing digital information on the go. The Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (“MSRP”) for Lucyd Lyte 2.0 eyewear starts at $149, with advanced options and customizations available at higher price points, which are at the discretion of the customer. A basic prescription lens upgrade is offered for $40. By comparison, most of our U.S.-based competitors offer products that are more expensive, starting at approximately $249 or higher, with higher costs to add prescriptions.

Quality. All of our frames can be outfitted in-house or by optical resellers with any combination of prescription, sunglass, reading, and blue light lens formats. Our frame fronts are made with what we believe are high quality optical materials to ensure easy lens fitting by any optician.

Customizable Product Offering. There are 80+ lens types available for Lucyd Lyte, making it the most customizable smart eyewear in the world. Innovative Eyewear has a partnership with a high-quality optical lab in Boston to produce prescription and custom lenses for our frames quickly and affordably. Our contract with a third-party optical lab also allows us to offer direct prescription fulfillment to our customers.

Comfort. At just 1.0 - 1.5 ounces, our eyewear has a feather-light fit, suitable for all day vision correction or sun protection (traditional glasses weigh about one ounce). This is especially important while on the go. Our 1.0 ounce titanium aviators are among the lightest smart eyewear ever made.

Long Battery Life. At 12 hours of playback per charge, our current product offering of Lucyd eyewear outpaces most, if not all, of the competition on battery life.

Capital Light Business Model. All of our products are sold through multiple e-commerce channels, including on our website (Lucyd.co), BestBuy.com, DicksSportingGoods.com, and Amazon.com, and are distributed through optical or other retailers (such as, but not limited to, Metro Optics Eyewear and Marca Eyewear Group, Inc.). We believe this capital light approach is highly scalable and efficient in the deployment of resources. We view “capital light” as being more efficient by obviating the need to build factories and retail stores, while partnering with existing companies in both of these groups.

Multiple-Channel Approach. We sell our products both through multiple online channels and multiple categories of brick-and-mortar retail stores. We believe this multi-channel approach provides us with an advantage against our competitors who sell in a narrower selection of channels.

Experienced Management Team. We have an experienced board of directors with more than 100 years of combined experience in the eyewear industry, and a management team with substantial experience in software and electronics engineering and operating eyewear and technology companies.

Recent Developments

Nasdaq Bid Price Notice

On August 4, 2023, we received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). which sets forth the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Minimum Bid Requirement”) as the bid price of the Company’s common stock, had closed below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. Nasdaq’s notice has no immediate effect on the listing of our common stock on Nasdaq.

Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company had 180 calendar days, until January 31, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of our Common Stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during this 180-day period, at which time the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that it complies with the Minimum Bid Requirement, unless the Staff exercises its discretion to extend this ten-day period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H).

On February 1, 2024, the Company requested and received an additional 180-calendar day, until July 30, 2024, compliance period from the Staff. In the event it appears to the Staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is not otherwise eligible for the second grace period, the Staff will provide written notice to the Company that the Common Stock is subject to delisting; however, the Company may request a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), which request, if timely made, would stay any further suspension or delisting action by the Staff pending the conclusion of the hearing process and expiration of any extension that may be granted by the Panel. There can be no assurance that the Staff would grant the Company’s request for continued listing subsequent to any delisting notification, or, if the Company does appeal the delisting determination by the Staff to the Panel, that such appeal would be successful, or that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements.

The Company intends to closely monitor the closing bid price of the common stock and consider all available options to remedy the bid price deficiency to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement.

Corporate Information

Our executive offices are located at 11900 Biscayne Blvd., Suite 630, North Miami, FL, 33181, and our phone number is (786) 785-5178. We maintain a website at www.lucyd.co. The reference to our website is intended to be an inactive textual reference only. The information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not part of this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should carefully consider the risk factors we describe in any prospectus supplement and in any related free writing prospectus for a specific offering of securities, as well as those incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any prospectus supplement. You should also carefully consider other information contained and incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, including our financial statements and the related notes thereto incorporated by reference in this prospectus. The risks and uncertainties described in the applicable prospectus supplement and our other filings with the SEC incorporated by reference herein are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial may also adversely affect us. If any of the described risks occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially harmed. In such case, the value of our securities could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq could result in a delisting of our securities.

If we fail to satisfy the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq such as the corporate governance requirements or the minimum stock price requirement, Nasdaq may take steps to delist our securities. Such a delisting would likely have a negative effect on the price of our securities and would impair your ability to sell or purchase our securities when you wish to do so. In the event of a delisting, we can provide no assurance that any action taken by us to restore compliance with listing requirements would allow our securities to become listed again, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our securities, prevent our securities from dropping below the Nasdaq minimum stock price requirement or prevent future non-compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements. Additionally, if our securities are not listed on, or become delisted from, Nasdaq for any reason, and are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, an inter-dealer automated quotation system for equity securities that is not a national securities exchange, the liquidity and price of our securities may be more limited than if we were quoted or listed on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange. You may be unable to sell your securities unless a market can be established or sustained.

On August 4, 2023, we received written notice from the Staff of Nasdaq notifying us that, for a period of 30 consecutive business days, we failed to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 as required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we had 180 calendar days, or until January 31, 2024, to regain compliance. On February 1, 2024, the Company received a letter (the “Extension Notice”) from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it had been granted an additional 180-day period, or until July 30, 2024, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). There can be no assurance that the Staff would grant the Company’s request for continued listing subsequent to any delisting notification, or, if the Company does appeal the delisting determination by the Staff to the Panel, that such appeal would be successful, or that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements.

If we cease to be eligible to trade on the Nasdaq:

	●	We may have to pursue trading on a less recognized or accepted market, such as the OTC Bulletin Board or the “pink sheets.”

	●	The trading price of our common stock could suffer, including an increased spread between the “bid” and “asked” prices quoted by market makers.

	●	Shares of our common stock could be less liquid and marketable, thereby reducing the ability of stockholders to purchase or sell our shares as quickly and as inexpensively as they have done historically. If our stock is traded as a “penny stock,” transactions in our stock would be more difficult and cumbersome.

	●	We may be unable to access capital on favorable terms or at all, as companies trading on alternative markets may be viewed as less attractive investments with higher associated risks, such that existing or prospective institutional investors may be less interested in, or prohibited from, investing in our common stock. This may also cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

On occasion we may engage in certain related party transactions. All prior related party transactions were approved by our Board of Directors and a majority of our issued and outstanding shares of capital stock, and have been disclosed in our other filings with the SEC which are incorporated by reference herein. Our policy is that all related party transactions will be reviewed and approved by the audit committee of our board of directors prior to our entering into any related party transactions.

On January 11, 2024, the Company entered into an intercompany loan agreement (as lender) with Tekcapital Europe Ltd. an affiliate of our largest stockholder, Lucyd Ltd., whose Chief Executive Officer is the father of our Chief Executive Officer, and Tekcapital Plc, the parent of Tekcapital Europe Ltd. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company loaned GBP £600,000 to Tekcapital Europe Ltd. The loan bears simple interest at a rate of 10% per annum and is required to be repaid on or before April 11, 2024. Tekcapital Plc executed the agreement as guarantor for Tekcapital Europe Ltd. on the full amount of the loan. Tekcapital Europe Ltd. repaid the loan in full in March 2024.

Effective March 1, 2024, the Company issued a convertible note to Lucyd Ltd., the largest stockholder of the Company, for up to $1,250,000 that bears interest at 10% per annum, which includes the option to convert the debt into the Company’s common stock at market price. The note can be converted into shares of common stock of the Company upon the occurrence of certain events, as defined in the note, or for any reason at the sole discretion of Lucyd Ltd. The note has a maturity date of September 1, 2025, at which time all outstanding principal and accrued interest is payable in full. As of the date of the filing of this Form S-3, the Company has not borrowed any amounts under this convertible note.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may sell the securities from time to time pursuant to underwritten public offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades or a combination of these methods or through underwriters or dealers, through agents and/or directly to one or more purchasers. The securities may be distributed from time to time in one or more transactions:

	●	at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;

	●	at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

	●	at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or

	●	at negotiated prices.

Each time that we sell securities covered by this prospectus, we will provide a prospectus supplement or supplements that will describe the method of distribution and set forth the terms and conditions of the offering of such securities, including the offering price of the securities and the proceeds to us, if applicable.

Offers to purchase the securities being offered by this prospectus may be solicited directly. Agents may also be designated to solicit offers to purchase the securities from time to time. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of our securities will be identified in a prospectus supplement.

If a dealer is utilized in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, the securities will be sold to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale.

If an underwriter is utilized in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, an underwriting agreement will be executed with the underwriter at the time of sale and the name of any underwriter will be provided in the prospectus supplement that the underwriter will use to make resales of the securities to the public. In connection with the sale of the securities, we or the purchasers of securities for whom the underwriter may act as agent, may compensate the underwriter in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions. The underwriter may sell the securities to or through dealers, and those dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for which they may act as agent. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, an agent will be acting on a best-efforts basis and a dealer will purchase securities as a principal, and may then resell the securities at varying prices to be determined by the dealer.

Any compensation paid to underwriters, dealers, or agents in connection with the offering of the securities, and any discounts, concessions, or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers will be provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. We may enter into agreements to indemnify underwriters, dealers and agents against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments they may be required to make in respect thereof and to reimburse those persons for certain expenses.

Any Common Stock will be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, but any other securities may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange. To facilitate the offering of securities, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain, or otherwise affect the price of the securities. This may include over-allotments or short sales of the securities, which involve the sale by persons participating in the offering of more securities than were sold to them. In these circumstances, these persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions by making purchases in the open market or by exercising their over-allotment option, if any. In addition, these persons may stabilize or maintain the price of the securities by bidding for or purchasing securities in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to dealers participating in the offering may be reclaimed if securities sold by them are repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.

We may engage in at the market offerings into an existing trading market in accordance with Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act.

In addition, we may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement so indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and, if not identified in this prospectus, will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, we may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.

We do not make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above might have on the price of the securities. In addition, we do not make any representation that underwriters will engage in such transactions or that such transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

The specific terms of any lock-up provisions in respect of any given offering will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

To comply with applicable state securities laws, the securities offered by this prospectus will be sold, if necessary, in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, securities may not be sold in some states unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

The underwriters, dealers, and agents may engage in transactions with us, or perform services for us, in the ordinary course of business for which they receive compensation.

As of March 22, 2024, there were no shares of preferred stock designated, issued, or outstanding.

We will fix the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions of the preferred stock of each series in the certificate of designation relating to that series. We will file as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from a current report on Form 8-K that we file with the SEC, the form of any certificate of designation that describes the terms of the series of preferred stock we are offering before the issuance of the related series of preferred stock. This description will include any or all of the following, as required:

	●	the title and stated value;

The Florida Business Corporation Act provides that the holders of preferred stock will have the right to vote separately as a class on any proposal involving fundamental changes in the rights of holders of that preferred stock. This right is in addition to any voting rights provided for in the applicable certificate of designation.

Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. Preferred stock could be issued quickly with terms designed to delay or prevent a change in control of our Company or make removal of management more difficult. Additionally, the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of decreasing the market price of our common stock.

Warrants

We may issue warrants to purchase our securities or other rights, including rights to receive payment in cash or securities based on the value, rate, or price of one or more specified commodities, currencies, securities, or indices, or any combination of the foregoing. Warrants may be issued independently or together with any other securities that may be sold by us pursuant to this prospectus or any combination of the foregoing and may be attached to, or separate from, such securities. To the extent warrants that we issue are to be publicly-traded, each series of such warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a warrant agent.

We will file as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from a current report on Form 8-K that we file with the SEC, forms of the warrant and warrant agreement, if any. The prospectus supplement relating to any warrants that we may offer will contain the specific terms of the warrants and a description of the material provisions of the applicable warrant agreement, if any. These terms may include the following:

	●	the title of the warrants;

	●	the price or prices at which the warrants will be issued;

	●	The designation, amount, and terms of the securities or other rights for which the warrants are exercisable;

	●	the designation and terms of the other securities, if any, with which the warrants are to be issued and the number of warrants issued with each other security;

	●	the aggregate number of warrants;

	●	any provisions for adjustment of the number or amount of securities receivable upon exercise of the warrants or the exercise price of the warrants;

	●	the price or prices at which the securities or other rights purchasable upon exercise of the warrants may be purchased;

	●	if applicable, the date on and after which the warrants and the securities or other rights purchasable upon exercise of the warrants will be separately transferable;

	●	a discussion of any material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to the exercise of the warrants;

	●	the date on which the right to exercise the warrants will commence, and the date on which the right will expire;

	●	the maximum or minimum number of warrants that may be exercised at any time;

	●	information with respect to book-entry procedures, if any; and

	●	any other terms of the warrants, including terms, procedures, and limitations relating to the exchange and exercise of the warrants.

Exercise of Warrants. Each warrant will entitle the holder of warrants to purchase the amount of securities or other rights, at the exercise price stated or determinable in the prospectus supplement for the warrants. Warrants may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date shown in the applicable prospectus supplement, unless otherwise specified in such prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, if applicable, unexercised warrants will become void. Warrants may be exercised in the manner described in the applicable prospectus supplement. When the warrant holder makes the payment and properly completes and signs the warrant certificate at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent, if any, or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as possible, forward the securities or other rights that the warrant holder has purchased. If the warrant holder exercises less than all of the warrants represented by the warrant certificate, we will issue a new warrant certificate for the remaining warrants.

Subscription Rights

We may issue rights to purchase our securities. The rights may or may not be transferable by the persons purchasing or receiving the rights. In connection with any rights offering, we may enter into a standby underwriting or other arrangement with one or more underwriters or other persons pursuant to which such underwriters or other persons would purchase any offered securities remaining unsubscribed for after such rights offering. In connection with a rights offering to holders of our capital stock a prospectus supplement will be distributed to such holders on the record date for receiving rights in the rights offering set by us.

We will file as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from a current report on Form 8-K that we file with the SEC, forms of the subscription rights, standby underwriting agreement or other agreements, if any. The prospectus supplement relating to any rights that we offer will include specific terms relating to the offering, including, among other matters:

	●	the date of determining the security holders entitled to the rights distribution;

	●	the aggregate number of rights issued and the aggregate amount of securities purchasable upon exercise of the rights;

	●	the exercise price;

	●	the conditions to completion of the rights offering;

	●	the date on which the right to exercise the rights will commence and the date on which the rights will expire; and

	●	any applicable federal income tax considerations.

Each right would entitle the holder of the rights to purchase the principal amount of securities at the exercise price set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Rights may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date for the rights provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, all unexercised rights will become void.

Holders may exercise rights as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Upon receipt of payment and the rights certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the rights agent, if any, or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as practicable, forward the securities purchasable upon exercise of the rights. If less than all of the rights issued in any rights offering are exercised, we may offer any unsubscribed securities directly to persons other than stockholders, to or through agents, underwriters or dealers or through a combination of such methods, including pursuant to standby underwriting arrangements, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Debt Securities

As used in this prospectus, the term “debt securities” means the debentures, notes, bonds, and other evidences of indebtedness that we may issue from time to time. The debt securities will either be senior debt securities, senior subordinated debt, or subordinated debt securities. We may also issue convertible debt securities. Debt securities may be issued under an indenture (which we refer to herein as an Indenture), which are contracts entered into between us and a trustee to be named therein. The Indenture has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. We may issue debt securities and incur additional indebtedness other than through the offering of debt securities pursuant to this prospectus. It is likely that convertible debt securities will not be issued under an Indenture.

The debt securities may be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a secured or unsecured senior or subordinated basis by one or more guarantors, if any. The obligations of any guarantor under its guarantee will be limited as necessary to prevent that guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. In the event that any series of debt securities will be subordinated to other indebtedness that we have outstanding or may incur, the terms of the subordination will be set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the subordinated debt securities.

We may issue debt securities from time to time in one or more series, in each case with the same or various maturities, at par or at a discount. Unless indicated in a prospectus supplement, we may issue additional debt securities of a particular series without the consent of the holders of the debt securities of such series outstanding at the time of the issuance. Any such additional debt securities, together with all other outstanding debt securities of that series, will constitute a single series of debt securities under the applicable Indenture and will be equal in ranking.

Should an Indenture relate to unsecured indebtedness, in the event of a bankruptcy or other liquidation event involving a distribution of assets to satisfy our outstanding indebtedness or an event of default under a loan agreement relating to secured indebtedness of our company or its subsidiaries, the holders of such secured indebtedness, if any, would be entitled to receive payment of principal and interest prior to payments on the unsecured indebtedness issued under an Indenture.

Each prospectus supplement will describe the terms relating to the specific series of debt securities. These terms will include some or all of the following:

	●	the title of debt securities and whether the debt securities are senior or subordinated;

	●	any limit on the aggregate principal amount of debt securities of such series;

	●	the percentage of the principal amount at which the debt securities of any series will be issued;

	●	the ability to issue additional debt securities of the same series;

	●	the purchase price for the debt securities and the denominations of the debt securities;

	●	the specific designation of the series of debt securities being offered;

	●	the maturity date or dates of the debt securities and the date or dates upon which the debt securities are payable and the rate or rates at which the debt securities of the series shall bear interest, if any, which may be fixed or variable, or the method by which such rate shall be determined;

	●	the basis for calculating interest;

	●	the date or dates from which any interest will accrue or the method by which such date or dates will be determined;

	●	the duration of any deferral period, including the period during which interest payment periods may be extended;

	●	whether the amount of payments of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the debt securities may be determined with reference to any index, formula or other method, such as one or more currencies, commodities, equity indices or other indices, and the manner of determining the amount of such payments;

	●	the dates on which we will pay interest on the debt securities and the regular record date for determining who is entitled to the interest payable on any interest payment date;

	●	the place or places where the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the debt securities will be payable, where any securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange or conversion, as applicable, and notices and demands may be delivered to or upon us pursuant to the applicable Indenture;

●

the rate or rates of amortization of the debt securities;

	●	any terms for the attachment to the debt securities of warrants, options or other rights to purchase or sell our securities;

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we do not anticipate the debt securities will be listed on any securities exchange. Holders of the debt securities may present registered debt securities for exchange or transfer in the manner described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Except as limited by the applicable Indenture, we will provide these services without charge, other than any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with the exchange or transfer.

Debt securities may bear interest at a fixed rate or a variable rate as specified in the prospectus supplement. In addition, if specified in the prospectus supplement, we may sell debt securities bearing no interest or interest at a rate that at the time of issuance is below the prevailing market rate, or at a discount below their stated principal amount. We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement any special federal income tax considerations applicable to these discounted debt securities.

We may issue debt securities with the principal amount payable on any principal payment date, or the amount of interest payable on any interest payment date, to be determined by referring to one or more currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity indices or other factors. Holders of such debt securities may receive a principal amount on any principal payment date, or interest payments on any interest payment date, that are greater or less than the amount of principal or interest otherwise payable on such dates, depending upon the value on such dates of applicable currency, commodity, equity index or other factors. The applicable prospectus supplement will contain information as to how we will determine the amount of principal or interest payable on any date, as well as the currencies, commodities, equity indices or other factors to which the amount payable on that date relates and certain additional tax considerations.

Units

We may issue units consisting of any combination of the other types of securities offered under this prospectus in one or more series. We may evidence each series of units by unit certificates that we may issue under a separate agreement. We may enter into unit agreements with a unit agent. Each unit agent, if any, may be a bank or trust company that we select. We will indicate the name and address of the unit agent, if any, in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of units. Specific unit agreements, if any, will contain additional important terms and provisions. We will file as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from a current report that we file with the SEC, the form of unit and the form of each unit agreement, if any, relating to units offered under this prospectus.

If we offer any units, certain terms of that series of units will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement, including, without limitation, the following, as applicable

	●	the title of the series of units;

	●	identification and description of the separate constituent securities comprising the units;

	●	the price or prices at which the units will be issued;

	●	the date, if any, on and after which the constituent securities comprising the units will be separately transferable;

	●	a discussion of certain United States federal income tax considerations applicable to the units; and

	●	any other material terms of the units and their constituent securities.

FORMS OF SECURITIES

Each security may be represented either by a certificate issued in definitive form to a particular investor or by one or more global securities representing the entire issuance of securities. Certificated securities in definitive form and global securities will be issued in registered form. Definitive securities name you or your nominee as the owner of the security, and in order to transfer or exchange these securities or to receive payments other than interest or other interim payments, you or your nominee must physically deliver the securities to the trustee, registrar, paying agent or other agent, as applicable. Global securities name a depositary or its nominee as the owner of the debt securities, warrants or units represented by these global securities. The depositary maintains a computerized system that will reflect each investor’s beneficial ownership of the securities through an account maintained by the investor with its broker/dealer, bank, trust company or other representative, as we explain more fully below.

LEGAL MATTERS

Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP, New York, New York, is acting as counsel in connection with the registration of our securities under the Securities Act, and as such, will pass upon the validity of the securities offered hereby. If legal matters in connection with offerings made by this prospectus are passed on by counsel for the underwriters, dealers or agents, if any, that counsel will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Our amended and restated articles of incorporation and bylaws provides that we shall indemnify our directors, officers, employees, and agents to the full extent permitted by the Florida Business Corporation Act (the “FBCA”), including in circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary under such law. The FBCA provides that a corporation may indemnify a director or officer against liability if the director or officer acted in good faith, the director or officer acted in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A corporation may not indemnify a director or an officer except for expenses and amounts paid in settlement not exceeding, in the judgment of the board of directors, the estimated expense of litigating the proceeding to conclusion, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such proceeding, including any appeal thereof, where such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation.

The FBCA provides that a corporation must indemnify a director or officer who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which the individual was a party because he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation against expenses incurred by the individual in connection with the proceeding.

Item 17. Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)	To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i)

To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii)

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(2)

That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933 each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)	To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

II-2

(4)

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(5)	That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)

Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii)

Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii)

The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv)

Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(6)	The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

(7)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 14 above, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(8)	The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)

That for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4), or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2)

That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and this offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

II-3
