ROCHESTER, N.Y., Dec. 6, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Vuzix® Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI),
("Vuzix" or, the "Company"), a leading supplier of smart glasses
and Augmented Reality (AR) technology and products, announced it
has completed delivery against the final stage of a development
program from a leading US-based defense contractor and information
technology services provider.
Vuzix has delivered a custom-designed waveguide and custom light
engine that are intended to be used in head borne systems designed
for military applications. This initial development program was
part of a phased effort that would ultimately address a broad
market for US and allied military personnel. These customized
waveguide-based display engine prototypes offer a high brightness,
high index waveguide design with a wide FOV (field-of-view) for a
variety of field operational conditions.
"We have been working closely with this defense contractor over
the past 18 months to design, produce and deliver a solution that
can be integrated into many head worn products," said Paul
Travers, President and CEO of Vuzix. "We look forward to future
opportunities from this work and ultimately potential volume
deliveries, and we will continue to develop and refine the
waveguide and display engine technologies, including advancements
such as our recently announced Incognito technology, that defense
contractors need and want for their next-generation solutions."
