Going to be a good year for InWith.

Been a while since I've posted pon this little gem. What a difference a year makes. Surge to $1 CAN, then back down to a dime. I'm liking this level right now. Company appears to be firing on all all cylinders according to latest ER. Will try and add another 10K shares at current prices.

CES 2022: Unlocking the metaverse with contact lenses

"The metaverse is the biggest buzzword floating at CES 2022 even before the show starts and InWith Corp. is presenting a new way to enable it with an electronic soft contact lens that allows users to transition from the real world to extended reality (XR).

At the world’s largest trade show, which takes place this week in Las Vegas, InWith said it plans to achieve FDA approval this year for the contacts and put them on the market shortly after.:

Can AR Contact Lenses Put the Future in Focus?
Good, short article that mentions InWith Corp (Formerly EPGL)

There are a handful of AR startups looking into creating these advanced, more intuitive contact lenses. The three companies we’ll highlight include InWith Corporation, Mojo Vision, and Apple.

1. InWith Corp.

InWith Corp. announced new technology that can change contact lenses at the 2021 Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The technology will enable developers to place AR chips in soft contact lenses to improve the vision of everyday consumers.

InWith is one of the only companies to go public with this technology, as other companies in the space have primarily worked on harder, less comfortable “scleral” lenses.

AR Insider - InWith

If they return to the public markets, it will be to the Nasdaq. But thats a long, long time from now in my opinion.

Bausch Lomb should be just about done with their previously announced realignment. Bausch + Lomb will be pure play eye-health company. They remain working with InWith Corp, formerly EPGL, as InWith continues work on its smart contact lens technology.

Good little blip on InWith from the other month. Good things are coming.

A Voice of America produced LogOn short, on augmented reality contact lenses, featuring Mojo Vision & InWith Corp.

Choice and Rewarded Actions in Advertisements

"Our brains have physical structures that react to and reinforce rewards as a mechanics for behavior change. We love challenges. We love choices. We love interacting. We love winning."

By Matthew Pierce, founder and CEO of Versus Systems

Choice, interactivity, achievement, and rewarded-action are the keys to making any activity more engaging. You’re more likely to enjoy something that you’ve chosen versus something that you’re forced to watch or do. You’re more likely to remember the activity and remember it fondly if you earned something, achieved something, or you can connect your actions and efforts to you or someone you love benefitting from it. Humans appreciate choice – and respond favorably to selecting between a reasonable number of options – especially when compared to compulsory activities. Our brains have physical structures that react to and reinforce rewards as a mechanics for behavior change. We love challenges. We love choices. We love interacting. We love winning.

LOS ANGELES, June 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Versus Systems Inc. (“Versus” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: VS) (FRANKFURT: BMVB) today announced the beta launch of their proprietary rewards platform, now accessible via a Shopify app that empowers businesses running Shopify to promote their products, drive trial and conversion, and grow awareness and sales through prizing and rewards.

Versus’ prize-based advertising app allows Shopify partners to connect their stores to the Versus ad platform, where they can then serve their products, coupons, offers, and product samples to audiences inside a wide variety of apps, games, and shows. Versus’ engagement platform already works with a number of games, apps, streams, and live events, including the apps of multiple NFL, NHL, MLB, and NBA teams.

Versus Systems Closes Acquisition of Xcite Interactive

Versus to add prizing to TV, streaming, dozens of NFL, MLB, NHL, and other fan experiences

Versus Systems Closes Acquisition of Xcite Interactive

LOS ANGELES, June 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Versus Systems Inc. (“Versus” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: VS) (FRANKFURT: BMVB) announced today the completion of its previously announced acquisition of Xcite Interactive, Inc. (“Xcite”). The acquisition was completed through a merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of Versus with and into Xcite.

Versus will add its proprietary prizing engine to Xcite’s newly developed XEO platform that is already in use with multiple professional sports teams and live major events. This rewards-based engagement will expand into TV and streaming while capitalizing on Xcite’s connections with more than 150 sports teams and brands. The new Versus-XEO platform will allow fans to interact with their favorite shows, games, and events to win real-world prizes inside apps, streams, and broadcasts.

Xcite has traditionally worked with college and professional teams, as well as leagues and major events like the X-Games, the Olympics and the FIFA World Cup. They have done so largely by licensing their games and engagement features like polling, trivia, social walls, and predictive games to content partners for use in their apps and websites. Versus will continue to grow that partner footprint while also adding the Versus reward technology and dynamic regulatory compliance engine so that fans of these teams and events can win real-world rewards brought to the audience by partner brands.

The transaction comes on the heels of a successful Versus-Xcite beta test during the Canelo Alvarez - Billy Joe Saunders middleweight title fight held at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas on May 8, 2021. In partnership with Frias Agency, Versus worked with Keurig Dr. Pepper brand Crush, rewarding over one thousand winning audience members with Crush soda alongside signed boxing gloves and DAZN codes to watch the fight.

“Versus combining with Xcite is a huge step for interactive media and fan engagement,” said Matthew Pierce, CEO of Versus. “This acquisition is transformative not only for Versus but for our audiences, brands, and content partners like teams, game developers, broadcasters, and streamers of all sizes. Versus adding rewards to Xcite's already strong base of teams and live events that use the XEO platform as a service will substantially grow our product offerings and benefit all our partners. We’ve already seen industry-leading transaction rates and engagement – even in tests of our combined products – results that we expect will only improve over time.”

Matthew Pierce and Versus President and CFO Craig Finster will retain their roles at the subsidiary, with the Versus Board of Directors also becoming the Xcite Board.

Pursuant to the definitive acquisition agreement, Versus paid approximately $15.2 million dollars to acquire the capital stock of Xcite, for a combination of Versus common shares and cash. Continuing employees of Xcite will also receive options to purchase Versus shares from an approximately $2.25M retention equity plan. The overall consideration is subject to customary post-closing adjustments.

High-Tech Contact Lenses That Go Beyond Correcting Vision

Good little article from 2020
Smart contact lenses you can use right now
Scientists are continually building better contact lens technology to prevent and treat eye diseases, and to improve life for people with low vision. Here are two lenses approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration in the past year........

High-Tech Contact Lenses

Given the achievements that have been made with regards to the IP, and the CES showing last January, there is always a chance holders of the private stock can be pleasantly surprised.

Time will tell. Good luck.

They are with Broadridge.

One of InWith Corp's, aka EPGL, core patents is the Elastic Circuit. Just 1 of 6 core patents approved by the USPTO with more on the way.

"The present invention is an elastic electronic circuit adapted to provide three-dimensional elasticity. This is accomplished through a first pattern, a second pattern embedded within the first pattern, and a third pattern. The three-dimension elastic electronic circuit is adapted to conform to a flexible substrate, such as flexible plastic substrates and the like. The resulting three-dimensional elasticity enables the use of electronic circuits on such flexible substrates."

Good article from Dec. 2020. WHERE ARE ALL THE SMART LENSES?
Some contact lens technologies are still on the horizon, while others appear to be more in reach.[/I]

WHERE ARE ALL THE SMART LENSES?

Where have all the smart lenses gone, long time passing; Where have all the smart lenses gone, long time ago?

It has been more than a decade since publications reported the advent of smart contact lenses.1 The passage of time without commercialization of component-containing lenses begs several questions. Perhaps the most critical is: Why is the time for commercialization so long? The short answer: Because it is difficult.

Smart contact lenses are a road less traveled, and much like the first three words in M. Scott Peck’s book, The Road Less Traveled, “Life is difficult.” To take a great lesson from the world of emerging technology: products must be useful, and they must be usable................

CES 2021: Prepare for electronic contact lenses
New technology launched this week enables computer circuitry to be embedded into name-brand soft contact lenses.

"nWith Corporation this week premiered a platform for computerised applications in soft contact lenses, allowing for smart contact lens technology. The InWith platform being premiered at CES 2021 is a configuration to enable developers to place augmented vision display chip applications into any soft hydrogel contact lenses of the kind that millions of people wear daily. InWith claims to be “the only company to publicly display this capability to integrate display circuitry into modern, soft contact lens materials”. Other companies, it says, are attempting to achieve this in harder and less comfortable “scleral lenses”.

The announcements by InWith follow the company’s 2020 display of stretchable electronic circuitry in name brand Bausch & Lomb contact lenses."
