ROCHESTER, N.Y., Sept. 23, 2019 /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 Company has been
invited by DJI™ to showcase its applications for operating DJI™
drones on Vuzix smart glasses at AirWorks 2019 taking place
September 24-26 in Los Angeles, CA.
The Vuzix application for operating DJI™ drones on the Vuzix
Blade® Smart Glasses was announced in June
2019, and now a corresponding application is also available
for the Vuzix M400 Smart Glasses. The apps enable
communication between Vuzix smart glasses and DJI™ remote
controllers through a USB cable or via WiFi. The Vuzix Blade
and M400 Smart Glasses allow pilots to not only keep their eyes on
the drone, but also simultaneously receive navigational feedback
and a live video feed coming from the drone directly through their
Vuzix smart glasses. To learn more visit:

The annual AirWorks conference is organized by DJI™ and serves
as a hub for innovation and growth, enabling participants in this
ecosystem to exchange ideas, gain more control of drone technology,
and steer the future development of the industry. Vuzix will join
hundreds of commercial drone professionals, technology experts, and
policymakers at AirWorks 2019, which focuses on the future of drone
technology and drone related businesses and solutions.
"Vuzix is thrilled to be invited by DJI™ to participate and
showcase our applications for operating DJI™ drones on Vuzix smart
glasses, which can be used across multiple vertical markets
including security, first responders, insurance, inspection,
manufacturing and field service, as well as by prosumers," said
Paul Travers, President and Chief
Executive Officer at Vuzix. "DJI™ controls a significant share of
the drone market and the commercial availability of these apps for
Vuzix Blade® and M400 Smart Glasses opens up additional adjacent
markets for Vuzix by allowing Vuzix smart glasses to be used as a
hands-free visual aid, eliminating the need for a smartphone or
tablet."
