Check your phone
For the glasses, use an iPhone with iOS 17.6+ or a phone with Android 10+, Lumyeye Pro and VIVE Connect. You need Bluetooth, an internet connection for AI requests and the permissions for the features you use.
Lumyeye Pro for iPhone and Android × VIVE Eagle
Press the button on the left temple, make your request and hear the answer through the glasses. Once connected and ready, your phone stays asleep in your pocket.

The practical change: your smartphone no longer occupies your hands. It stays asleep in your pocket while VIVE Eagle’s button, microphones, camera and speakers become the access point for Lumyeye Pro.
Before you choose
Lumyeye Pro runs on your phone. VIVE Eagle adds a camera at eye level, a physical button and open-ear sound.
For the glasses, use an iPhone with iOS 17.6+ or a phone with Android 10+, Lumyeye Pro and VIVE Connect. You need Bluetooth, an internet connection for AI requests and the permissions for the features you use.
VIVE US lists Pantos and Square frames. Clear lenses and sunglasses start at $499; the listed Square Transitions version is $599. Choose by fit and lens needs, then confirm the selected model’s price and stock with VIVE.
Prescription lenses require an optician’s assessment. Power Boost is an optional battery sold separately. Neither is required to try Lumyeye Pro on your phone. Read VIVE’s prescription-lens guidance.
US model prices checked September 7, 2026 at the official VIVE US store. For Lumyeye Pro without glasses, Android 9+ is supported. The VIVE Eagle setup requires Android 10+.
One tactile control replaces finding the phone and navigating its screen.
The small AI button sits on the left temple. One press starts Lumyeye Pro listening.
Speak naturally: read, describe, identify, find information or start a voice action.
The answer plays through the open-ear speakers. Press again to stop or interrupt listening.
Lumyeye Pro voice commands stay within speaking distance. Availability depends on permissions, connectivity and the sensors required by each request.
Important: a camera or AI can make mistakes. Lumyeye Pro and VIVE Eagle complement mobility aids; they never replace a white cane, guide dog, orientation and mobility training, vigilance or safety rules.
Your US budget
Choose a Lumyeye Pro plan and enter your glasses price to estimate 12 or 24 months of use. Hardware is counted once.
Example: $499.00 glasses + Lumyeye Pro at $169.99/year.
Estimate in USD, checked September 7, 2026. Renewal prices are assumed unchanged. Taxes, shipping, a phone, prescription lenses and optional accessories are excluded unless added to your entered glasses price. The 40 free queries are not deducted from paid subscription periods. Sources: VIVE US and the US App Store.
Two separate services: VIVE advertises 24 months of its own VIVE AI Plus service with the glasses. That is not a Lumyeye Pro subscription. Buy Lumyeye Pro separately in your phone’s store; an App Store purchase does not unlock Google Play, or vice versa.
First setup
Set up the connection on your phone first. Then try the glasses while seated before putting the phone in your pocket.
Charge the glasses, enable Bluetooth and install VIVE Connect. Follow VIVE’s pairing instructions, including HTC account sign-in and permissions. VIVE’s account is separate from Lumyeye Pro.
Install Lumyeye Pro from the App Store or Google Play. Open the app, allow the permissions needed for your request and make sure the glasses connection is ready. If you need help connecting Pro, contact Lumyeye.
Press the button on the left temple and ask for a description of an object in front of you. Listen through the glasses; press again to stop. Once the connection works, repeat with the phone asleep in your pocket.
Try the app on your phone first
40 free queries to explore reading, visual questions, communication and organization. No credit card and no Lumyeye account to create on opening the app.
Lumyeye Pro is the app used in this journey. Lumyeye Classic is a separate, simpler option; you do not need both subscriptions. See Pro plans.
VIVE Eagle Power Boost is an optional external battery that attaches to a temple. VIVE lists an extra 120 mAh for under 8 g, with use while charging.

No. Lumyeye Pro and VIVE Eagle provide complementary information but never replace a white cane, guide dog, orientation and mobility skills or the user’s judgement.
Use Lumyeye Pro with VIVE Connect on iOS 17.6+ or Android 10+. Bluetooth, an internet connection for AI requests and the relevant permissions are needed. Lumyeye Pro without glasses also supports Android 9+.
At the prices checked September 7, 2026, $499 glasses plus a $169.99 annual Lumyeye Pro subscription total $668.99 over 12 months or $838.98 over 24 months if renewal prices stay unchanged. Taxes, shipping, a phone, prescription lenses and optional accessories are not included. Your selected model and store checkout determine your price.
No. The VIVE AI Plus service advertised with VIVE Eagle is a different service. Lumyeye Pro is purchased separately through the App Store or Google Play. The two app stores have separate subscriptions.
Feature availability depends on your phone, app permissions, connectivity and the sensors a request uses. The glasses do not add LiDAR to a phone, and pocket use does not make the phone’s LiDAR available as an eye-level sensor. Live Vision is for short sessions with a daily allowance, not continuous all-day narration.

Start with Lumyeye Pro on your phone. Add VIVE Eagle when you want a physical button, a camera at eye level and spoken answers with your hands free.
