ROCHESTER, N.Y., July 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Vuzix®
Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), ("Vuzix" or, "the Company"), 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 the Vuzix M300 will
be supported by VistaFinder Mx, a remote operations supporting
system that delivers hands-free video transmissions, through
KDDI on August 1, 2017.
The VistaFinder Mx solution leverages the camera and
head-mounted display of the Vuzix M300 Smart Glasses to overlay AR
images on the user's real-time view to aid in remote support
applications. Technicians can work more efficiently and hands-free
by viewing the AR image on the M300, as opposed to holding a
smartphone or tablet to view the screen.
VistaFinder Mx is a remote operations supporting system
that allows videos taken by smartphones, tablets, mobile PCs and
now smart glasses to relay remotely from the field over various
types of networks, simply, securely, and in high quality. The
system provides a variety of functions, including issuing
operational instructions by AR through live audio and video
streaming, recording of on-site video, and hands-free transmission
with wearable cameras. The service is available in English,
Japanese, Chinese, and Korean.
"The availability of M300 on VistaFinder Mx remote support
application expands our geographical distribution capabilities of
the M300 Smart Glasses worldwide through KDDI, a Vuzix VIP partner
and M300 value added reseller," said Paul
Travers, President and Chief Executive Officer at Vuzix.
"Our M300 Smart Glasses feature a 1080p video and image-stabilized
auto-focus camera that is ideal for relaying high-quality video
content remotely in the field."
