ROCHESTER, N.Y., March 20, 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 that the Vuzix Blade
® Smart Glasses have been selected by X.Labs, developer of
SWORD weapon detection system, as the optional smart glasses
companion for Feevr. Feevr is a quick and effective
artificial intelligence (AI) based system for screening and
detecting individuals in a crowd that have an elevated
temperature.
Vuzix has received an order, with an initial payment upfront,
from X.Labs and will immediately ship 100 Vuzix Blade Smart Glasses
to support the launch of Feevr. X.Labs expects to begin
shipping Feevr units to customers beginning March 26, 2020.
Feevr describes it product as a completely mobile platform that
utilizes a thermal imaging camera with best-in-class thermal
sensitivity and an AI-based mobile app integrated with an Android
device. Feevr's non-contact-based solution automatically provides a
discreet alert when a scanned individual's temperature exceeds a
predetermined threshold. The Feevr solution thus enables its users
to efficiently and effectively identify individuals who may require
further medical examination as an elevated temperature is one of
the key indicators of an infectious disease such as COVID-19
(Coronavirus).
When Feevr is paired and integrated with the Vuzix Blade, users
will receive a real-time alert on the heads-up display of the Vuzix
smart glasses, allowing the glasses wearer to stay engaged with
their environment while also simultaneously receiving critical
alerts from Feevr.
"Vuzix Blade provides a see-through display that allows our
customers to receive real-time alerts from our Feevr solution while
staying engaged with their environment," said Barry Oberholzer, Founder and CEO of
X.Labs.
"Vuzix is excited to be working with the X.Labs to provide a
smart glasses solution that can deliver critical information on
demand as needed to Feevr users," said Paul Travers, President
and Chief Executive Officer at Vuzix.
