New solution features operating temperatures
down to -20°C and comes with 1-year access to the most popular
collaboration tools for remote workers
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Aug. 12,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Vuzix® Corporation (NASDAQ:
VUZI), ("Vuzix" or, the "Company"), a leading supplier of smart
glasses and Augmented Reality (AR) technology and products,
announced the introduction of M400 Xtreme smart glasses, a new kit
that incorporates numerous advancements to its already widely
adopted M400, and features the new Xtreme Weather power bank, a
lightweight, long lasting battery that, just like the main M400
Xtreme, is IP67-rated against dust and water intrusion and operates
at temperatures ranging from -20°C to 45°C (-4°F –
113°F).
Vuzix will be offering the M400 Xtreme kit as an out-of-the-box
remote support solution that improves upon its currently available
M400 All Weather Kit, specifically with a greater battery capacity,
use in the harshest workplace environments, and comfortable
headband for long shifts. This new combination of features makes
the M400 Xtreme an ideal solution for remote field service
assignments and all-day cold storage warehouse duty.
To further maximize smart glasses adoption across harsh and
remote field assignments, Vuzix is proud to announce a new
Collaboration Package offer. For a limited time, the company will
be extending all new and existing M400 customers free access to
many of the most popular AR communication tools, including Vuzix
Video Conferencing for Zoom. These tools enable users to start or
join a meeting easily and instantly using hands-free technology,
share their point of view using video streaming and more, all on
Vuzix M400 smart glasses, and using the teleconferencing apps that
clients have already adopted into their workflows. More on the
Collaboration Package here.
"Since we first launched the M400, we've been continually making
improvements to this product. Over time, we've made the display
brighter and increased screen life and durability, dramatically
reduced non-user voice interference, upgraded the OS, added speech
recognition and applications support in 30 languages, further
ruggedized the adjustable hinge mechanism and improved other key
design features. The enhancements implemented were often in direct
response to the operational requests and general product feedback
we have received from the thousands of customers that have been
actively using our smart glasses," said Paul Travers, President and CEO of Vuzix.
"Upgrading to Android 13 support, for example, is another key
requirement on our strategy roadmap for the year, based on customer
feedback. We're confident that our new Collaboration Package and
the release of the M400 Xtreme will meet the rising need to stay
connected with peer teams regardless of location or environmental
factors."
