In partnership with University of Southern California (USC) [Center for Body Computing](http://www.uscbodycomputing.org/) (CBC), VSP Global® is launching a major academic study and consumer pilot test with the latest version of the company’s tech-embedded eyewear, Level™.

VSP Global’s innovation lab, The Shop, [debuted an early version of the prototype in 2015 as Project Genesis](http://newsroom.vspglobal.com/vsp-global/news-releases/vsp-globals-innovation-lab-debuts-first-wearable-prototype-with-project-genesis)—the first wearable to seamlessly integrate health-tracking technology into the temple of an optical frame.

 

[A partnership with USC CBC followed](http://newsroom.vspglobal.com/vsp-global/news-releases/vsp-globals-innovation-lab-inks-wearable-tech-research-partnership-with-usc) soon after to harness the CBC’s multidisciplinary experts in digital health technology and to collaborate with The Shop on engineering future versions of the frame and platform.
