ROCHESTER, N.Y., Nov. 20, 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 general availability of Vuzix Z100™ smart glasses,  priced at just $499.  The Z100 smart glasses provide users with the heads-up information display they expect from an everyday wearable. Vuzix Z100 pairs seamlessly 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 AI 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 AI and work process applications, receiving critical updates, convenient workflow and task confirmations, and instant notifications in real time, all while wearing a pair of sleek, attractive glasses. 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 upgraded Vuzix Connect mobile app now comes with a teleprompter feature, and provides a fitness application to help meet exercise milestones. Users can run or bike while monitoring their pace, and even their step counts while walking. Having this information readily in view is safer and more effective than having to look at a fitness watch, especially when enjoying outdoor sports. In addition, other apps can still be tracking and recording a workout while the Connect app is displaying these training metrics. The Android version of the Vuzix Connect mobile app can also be configured to display turn-by-turn directions from Google maps. Once again, this is critical when walking or cycling, when it's inconvenient and unsafe to be continually looking down at the phone.
