Vuzix Z100 smart glasses

Vuzix Corporation has launched the Vuzix Z100 smart glasses. Built using the Vuzix Ultralite OEM PlatformSM, these safety glasses-certified smart glasses are made for all-day wear. Using them, workers can get a human-centred connection to AI and work process applications, receiving updates, workflow and task confirmations, and notifications in real time.

The smart glasses pair via Bluetooth with Android or iOS IOT devices. They represent a functional bridge between AI platform tools, where situational guidance can streamline workflows, and human workers can reap the benefits of a connected workplace. In addition to a lightweight AI interface, the glasses can augment the data feed from finger scanners, sensors, controllers and other equipment with minimal native UI, making that data available in an accessible format. Tasks with substandard user feedback due to device or process limitations can now have their workflows displayed in the user’s heads-up display, providing human-centred outputs and real-time updates.

Running up to 48 hours on a single charge, the smart glasses feature heads-up waveguide technology and a sleek form factor that weighs 35 grams. Advanced monocular waveguide optics, combined with the Vuzix custom micro display engine, create a 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 more.
