ROCHESTER, N.Y., March 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Vuzix®
Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), ("Vuzix" or, the "Company"), a
leading supplier of Smart Glasses and Augmented Reality (AR)
technology and products, together with Librestream, will be
offering free access to Librestream's secure remote expert
assistance software consisting of their Onsight augmented reality
platform. Today they announced that Librestream's Onsight Connect
remote expert software will be provided to qualified new
customers at no charge for a limited period to the Vuzix M400 Smart
Glasses customers to help companies facing business continuity and
worker safety challenges related to COVID-19.
The Vuzix M400 Smart Glasses are certified as part of the
Onsight Optimized™ program. Using Onsight Connect, frontline
workers can see live or recorded video, pictures, and onscreen
mark-ups on the M400 display. Remote collaborators can also
remotely view live content, share and remotely control the Vuzix
M400 camera, adjusting lighting, zoom, and capturing HD or thermal
images, providing teams with real-time data and knowledge
assets.
"We felt it was important to provide a free offer to help
companies that urgently need to overcome the distance barrier in
light of the coronavirus. In some regions, we've seen usage of our
Onsight platform increase over 700% and we recognize that companies
need to replace travel with virtual collaboration. As an
Onsight Optimized solution, the Vuzix Smart Glasses provide an
excellent industrial hands-free option for enterprises," shared
Charlie Neagoy, VP Business
Development at Librestream.
"We are pleased to partner with Librestream in bringing this
hands-free remote expert experience to companies facing immediate
operational challenges. The combined solution of Onsight Connect
with the Vuzix M400 Smart Glasses is a robust voice driven
application that has been optimized for enterprise customers," said
Paul Travers, President and Chief
Executive Officer at Vuzix.
Librestream will for a limited time provide its Onsight Connect
remote expert package to qualified organizations, subject to a
20-user license cap, who are new to this capability. The package
includes pre-configured Onsight Connect remote expert software and
materials to get up and running within 24 hours. To initiate the
qualification, organizations must fill out their information
online and agree to provide feedback. There is no commitment
to purchase of any kind.
Vuzix and Librestream will also be offering ongoing training
webinars to help new users get up and running quickly. You can view
a schedule of the upcoming webinars on the Vuzix website,
which will be updated frequently.
Last week, the two companies announced an integrated hands-free
thermal imaging solution for frontline workers to monitor body
temperatures from a safe distance. This new offer enables a broad
range of worker safety-focused use cases that range from remote
inspections of critical equipment and diagnostic assessments to
telemedicine consults. Given the nature of these challenging field
environments, security, data privacy and low bandwidth optimization
are all critical requirements that are included in this
solution.
