win two CES 2024 Innovation Awards

markets
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Nov. 16,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Vuzix®
Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), ("Vuzix" or, the "Company"), a
leading supplier of Smart Glasses and Augmented Reality (AR)
technology and products, today announced the expansion of its Vuzix
Ultralite OEM PlatformSM with its new, award winning
Ultralite S AR smart glasses aimed in part at sports and fitness
users.
The Vuzix Ultralite S, a design based on the Vuzix Ultralite OEM
Platform, has been named a CES® 2024 Innovation Awards
winner in the Wearable Technologies and Sports & Fitness
categories. This represents the Company's twentieth consecutive
year taking an award at CES, a significant milestone which speaks
to Vuzix' track record of innovation and longevity in the AR
industry. The announcement was made ahead of CES 2024, the world's
most influential technology event, happening January 9-12 in Las
Vegas, NV.
Vuzix' Ultralite S AR smart glasses deliver the most fashionable
and lightweight pair of AR smart glasses ever assembled. Aimed in
part at sports and fitness users, but boasting a sleek design that
will appeal to a broad range of customers, Vuzix Ultralite S
delivers hands-free, wireless connectivity to the information from
the wearer's smartphone or smartwatch, in their wearer's line of
sight when requested. Advanced waveguide optics and micro-LED
displays create a crisp, see-through image of directions,
messaging, health and fitness information, and even workplace data.
Vuzix Ultralite S also employs Vuzix Incognito technology,
virtually eliminating the eyeglow or forward light found with other
waveguide-based solutions. Users will stay hands-free and connected
to the information needed while on the go, see visual responses
from their AI bot inquiries, but still remain aware of their
surroundings thanks to the heads-up display. The Vuzix Ultralite
OEM Platform can be customized for different styles, colors, and
technology configurations to give consumers the look and feel for
their individual lifestyles.
"The Ultralite S is but one example of the attractive and
functional configurations possible with our Ultralite OEM
Platform," said Paul Travers,
President and Chief Executive Officer at Vuzix. "We will continue
to expand the design and performance of smart glasses products
based on this platform as we continue to work with potential end
customers on a white label basis."
