Vuzix Corporation, a leading supplier of smart glasses and augmented reality technology and products, has announced the general availability of Vuzix Z100 smart glasses. The Z100 smart glasses provide users with the heads-up information display they expect from an everyday wearable. Vuzix Z100 pairs via Bluetooth to Android and IOS smart phones that are running the newly-upgraded Vuzix Connect mobile application version 1.7, which pushes real-time information to the glasses, including notifications, updates and messaging.
Vuzix Z100 smart glasses pack industry-defining heads-up waveguide technology into a sleek, fashionable form factor that weighs in at just 38 grams – the weight of a standard pair of glasses. Running up to 48 hours on a single charge, they deliver a crisp, transparent, monochrome image that can deliver important information hands-free while providing a natural artificial intelligence delivery interface.
For enterprise users, these safety glasses-certified smart glasses are made for all day comfort. Using them, frontline workers can get a human-centered connection to artificial intelligence and work process applications, receiving critical updates, convenient workflow and task confirmations, and instant notifications in real time.
Vuzix Z100 smart glasses can augment the data feeds from finger scanners, sensors, controllers and other equipment making that data available in a new and highly accessible format. Users can now have their workflows displayed in the heads-up display, providing human-centered outputs and real-time updates.
With the Vuzix Connect mobile app, wearers can easily configure their Vuzix Z100 smart glasses to show notifications from many of their smartphone apps, making reading texts and direct messages from social apps easy and instantaneous.
The Vuzix Connect mobile app also features a translation and transcription engine. This allows the wearer to see the text of what others around them are saying, just like watching closed captioning on a television, even if the conversation is in a different language.
“The Z100 takes AI/AR smart glasses to the next level, providing individuals with a hands-free AI interface that is indistinguishable from a traditional pair of glasses,” said Paul Travers, president and chief executive officer at Vuzix. “The Z100 is an attractive, lightweight, and cost-effective way to augment current workflows with AI optimization software, inside a device that people will enjoy wearing all day, every day and it is built and priced with the broad market white label customer in mind.”
