ROCHESTER, N.Y., Oct. 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Vuzix®
Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), a leading supplier of Smart Glasses,
Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies and
products for the consumer and enterprise markets, is pleased to
announce that Atheer has joined the Vuzix Industrial Partner (VIP)
program. Based in Mountain View,
California, Atheer, pioneer of AiR™ (Augmented interactive
Reality) computing, enhances the productivity and safety of
"desk-less professionals" at Fortune 1000 companies such as Flex,
Masimo, and Duke Energy. Atheer was recently selected as one
of the first VIPs to receive the M300 DVT (Design Validation Test)
units, which are effectively final production units going through
certification. This allows Atheer to immediately showcase its AiR
Suite platform to its client base running on production quality
M300 Smart Glasses, with their unprecedented video streaming
quality, wear-all-day ergonomics, and corporate grade Android 6
security features.
Atheer's award winning remote collaboration platform, AiR Suite,
allows for the most interactive (via voice, head motion, and
Atheer's proprietary gesture recognition software) mobile smart
glasses experience possible. It is an "out-of-box" solution,
allowing companies to quickly test and deploy AR in enterprise
environments. This early VIP collaboration will ensure that the
Vuzix M300 Smart Glasses will be compatible with AiR Suite on Day
1, empowering enterprise professionals with crystal clear
video-calling, annotation, and messaging capabilities. AiR Suite
also features a one of a kind drag-and-drop workflow creation tool,
enabling the creation of smart glasses content with no coding
capability required.
"Vuzix and Atheer share a commitment to providing enterprise
professionals the tools to increase productivity, accurately
and immediately," says Alberto
Torres, CEO of Atheer. "The M300 Smart Glasses from
Vuzix are among the most cutting-edge computer eyewear devices. And
with our partnership, they will now offer state-of-the-art gesture
and voice controls."
"We are pleased to continue working very closely with Atheer,
whose AiR Suite app has been the #1 most downloaded app on the
Vuzix App store for the past year." said Paul Travers, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Vuzix. "Atheer's AiR Suite is one of the best-in-class
enterprise solutions available for Vuzix M100 and now M300 Smart
Glasses, and in particular, AiR Suite's simple user controlled task
flow creation tool equips our M300 to be transformative for
industrial businesses across a range of applications. The AiR App
allows users to immediately pilot the solution, validate KPI (key
performance indicators), and move to production deployment –
sometimes in less than 30 days."
Atheer's AiR Suite and gesture recognition solution for the
Vuzix M300 will be featured at the upcoming vFORUM2016, Airwatch
Connect, Dell World, and AWE Europe
events.
