We got some nice coverage in local papers today. A teaser photograph even appeared on the front page of both the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the Pittsburgh Business Times. Check out:

I had lunch with a supporter last week who suggested I point out that, once in production, these sunglasses will be available in a variety of styles and colors to fit the needs of our customers. In fact, the technology may well be hidden inside the frames of a well-known sunglasses brand. This Kickstarter campaign itself has already brought in some phone calls from interested parties.
We made a press release through PR Newswire today to spread the word further about our electronic sunglasses. Now we can be found at places like Yahoo! Tell your friends!
Check out the video of what it's like to look through our sunglasses at
http://www.dyneye.com/Videos.html. It's far better in real life because the sun is far brighter than your computer screen, but at least you can see how quickly the glasses respond to turning your head or other natural movements.
