ROCHESTER, N.Y., April 1, 2020 /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 commercial
availability of its connector app for the Cisco Webex Teams video
conferencing application on its Vuzix M-Series and the Vuzix Blade®
Smart Glasses.
Cisco Webex Teams is a widely used collaboration solution that
keeps people and teamwork connected anytime, anywhere, on any
device. With the Webex Teams app, users create secure virtual
workspaces for everything, from completing short-term projects to
solving longer-term business opportunities. Day-to-day interactions
with messaging and file sharing and editing can be enhanced with
third-party app integrations for a seamless workflow. Webex Teams
can increase productivity and engagement with real-time
communications, starts calls instantly, and provides high-quality
video meetings with screen-sharing at the touch of a button.
Existing licenses for Webex Teams are required to use the connector
app and they are available directly from Cisco.
"Webex Teams customers can connect to a remote mentor or support
team hands-free when using our M-Series or Vuzix Blade Smart
Glasses. The use of our smart glasses connector app for the Webex
Teams video conferencing service provides our customers with a
wearable and hands-free version of this application developed
specifically for the Vuzix smart glasses. It allows them to login,
connect and share their POV (point-of-view) feed real-time from the
camera of Vuzix smart glasses," said Paul
Travers, Vuzix President and Chief Executive Officer. "The
Webex Teams service accessed through the connector app enables not
only one-to-one support calls but also one-to-many, which allows
remote workers to share what they are seeing with all of the users
that have joined the meeting simultaneously."
