- Sleek, safety glasses certified, smart glasses provide an
attractive, all-day wearable interface between AI enhancement
applications and human workers
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Jan. 9, 2024
/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 unveiling of Vuzix Z100 smart glasses, which will initially be
offered as a developer's edition. Built using the Vuzix Ultralite
OEM PlatformSM, these safety glasses-certified smart
glasses are sleek and made for all day wear. Using them, workers
get a human-centered connection to AI and work process
applications, receiving critical updates, convenient workflow and
task confirmations, and notifications in real time, all while
wearing a pair of glasses that workers will enjoy having on.
Vuzix Z100 smart glasses pair seamlessly via Bluetooth with
Android or iOS IOT devices. They represent the first attractive,
functional bridge between AI platform tools, where situational
guidance can streamline workflows, and human workers can reap the
benefits of a truly connected workplace. In addition to a
lightweight AI interface, Vuzix Z100 glasses can augment the data
feed from finger scanners, sensors, controllers, and other
equipment with minimal native UI, making that data available in a
new and highly accessible format. Tasks with sub-standard user
feedback due to device or process limitations can now have their
workflows displayed in the user's heads up display, providing
human-centered outputs and real-time updates.
Running up to 48 hours on a single charge, Vuzix Z100 smart
glasses pack industry-defining heads-up waveguide technology into a
sleek, fashionable form factor that weighs in at just 35 grams –
the weight of a standard pair of glasses. Advanced monocular
waveguide optics, combined with Vuzix' custom micro display engine,
create a crisp, transparent, monochrome image that can deliver all
the important information on a user's Android or iOS device,
hands-free right before their eyes. Wearers get heads-up access to
important task information, from language translation and closed
captioning, to directions, to health and workout status, to
messaging, workflow outputs and much more. Best of all, Vuzix Z100
smart glasses provide a sleek, attractive form factor that
frontline employees will want to wear.
"The Z100 takes enterprise use of AR smart glasses to the next
level, providing workers with a hands-free wearable that is
indistinguishable from a pair a standard glasses," said Paul
Travers, President and Chief Executive Officer at Vuzix.
"This rollout is in overwhelming response to interest expressed by
enterprise customers in an attractive and light weight pair of
smart glasses that can augment current workflows with AI
optimization software. There are customers across numerous market
verticals and use cases that we believe will embrace this product
as fashionable and affordable productivity device that workers will
enjoy wearing all day every day."
Vuzix Z100 smart glasses will be on display at the Consumer
Electronic Show (CES) taking place January
9-12, 2024 in Las Vegas,
Nevada. Visit Vuzix at booth #20143.
