Ampere releases five new products at CES 2023. 

Dusk Sport – CES 2023 Innovation Award Honoree

Dusk Sport is a tint-adjustable smart sunglasses with premium open-ear audio. The tint can be changed manually (on the frame and on the app) or users can activate InstaOptic.

The tint of the lenses can be changed in three ways:
Manually on the frame
Directly in the Ampere app
Or users can activate InstaOpticTM — new technology that leverages an ambient light sensor to adjust the tint automatically. Unlike traditional photochromic lenses, InstaOpticTM allows users to customize their automatic tint-changing experience. In the Ampere app, users can select how dark they would like the lenses to go, how light they would like them to go, how sensitive the lenses are to light, and even how long it takes for them to switch between tint levels. For example, the user can choose a .1-second transition or a 3-second transition for a more gradual change.

Dusk Sport comes in two frame styles — Action and Speed — and both the frames and lenses come in a variety of colors so you can find a pair that matches your style. Dusk Sport are also sweatproof, IPX5 waterproof, and durable — they have scratch-proof and shatter-resistant lenses and TR-90 frames.

The Traction Timer – CES 2023 Innovation Award Honoree 

The Traction Timer is a smart timer and phone lock box that’s designed to help users improve focus. The accompanying Traction App allows you to track your progress over time, unlock different timer modes (like the Pomodoro timer), and encourages users to make deep focus part of their daily routine. It also syncs to Focus Time in Apple HealthKit. When it’s time to focus, users simply place their smartphone inside The Traction Timer, set the timer, and their phone will be physically locked until it runs out.
