Nuance Audio introduces an innovative invisible air conduction hearing solution, seamlessly integrated into elegant smart glasses to provide a discreet, natural, and comfortable hearing experience. With advanced beamforming technology and integrated open-ear speakers, users can engage in conversations with exceptional clarity and real-time amplification. Designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, Nuance Audio empowers users to socialize and interact with confidence in their daily lives.

Oakley WTR Icon won an iF DESIGN AWARD in the ‘Sports / Outdoor’ category, with 290 points. Oakley WTR ICON seeks to revolutionize the sport of surfing by creating a protection system that allows athletes to push their performance while protecting them when conditions get serious. Until now, pro surfers have been turned off by helmets due to underwhelming and underperforming options. Oakley's new surf helmet balances function, protection, senses and emotion to equip athletes to perform at their best in some of the most challenging environments known to man.

The groundbreaking features and design concepts of all three innovations convinced the international jury of experts, which consists of 131 independent design professionals, prevailed against the high-caliber competition and deservedly received the coveted seal of approval.
