Expands Availability of Vuzix Shield for
Enterprise Customers
ROCHESTER, N.Y., April 8,
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 that its award-winning Vuzix Shield™ smart safety glasses
are now available to the general public via www.Vuzix.com. Vuzix
Shield initially launched against a limited fulfillment strategy,
focused on developers and researchers.
Vuzix Shield represents the company's most revolutionary pair of
prescription-ready AR smart safety glasses, boasting enhanced 3D
optics made possible by its stereoscopic microLED (µLED)
waveguide-based displays. Its high-efficiency projectors deliver a
crisp, ultrabright image indoors or outside. ANSI Z87.1 safety
glasses certified, with self-contained batteries, stereo HD cameras
and a Qualcomm processor under the hood, Vuzix Shield is optimized
for multi-hour untethered use, with stereo over-the-ear speakers
for personalized audio, and noise-cancelling microphones for clear
voice interactions in even harsh work environments. Because most
use cases demand heads-up, hands-free use, Vuzix Shield can support
voice input in 29 languages. It also comes equipped with dual
swipe/tap touchpads for ultimate versatility without the need for
voice commands. Using Vuzix Shield, workers can stream their view
to remote experts, connect to AI workflow optimization tools, take
photos, scan barcodes, and get work instructions and notifications,
all with a lightweight, ergonomic form factor that's comfortable
for extended wear.
A pair of autofocus HD cameras can double as a barcode scanner,
supporting AI-enabled environmental awareness, real-time inputs,
and feedback both on tasks and ambient workplace hazards. The
device also enables remote support, providing experts with a
see-what-I-see view leveraging most common teleconferencing apps.
Current deployments span a range of use cases, including medical
and first responder, logistics and transport, and field service and
inspection. Xander, one of the Company's most notable early
clients serving the deaf and hard-of-hearing community through
collaborations with the Veterans Association, has already placed
follow-on orders due to significant demand for their smart
captioning solution.
"Though we're still working against a customer backlog, we're
pleased to have increased our manufacturing capacity to support
growing demand for Vuzix Shield," said Paul
Travers, President and CEO of Vuzix. "As always, we aim to
deliver the highest levels of customer service with our products.
Vuzix Shield is unique in the market, and is the only wireless,
fully integrated pair of prescription-ready smart glasses offering
advanced AR capabilities in a form factor that feels great and
looks amazing for front-end use."
