Vuzix and Atheer team up to extend functionality of M100 Smart Glasses

Vuzix, a supplier of video eyewear and smart glasses for consumers, enterprises and entertainment, has partnered with Atheer, a specialist in augmented interactive reality (AIR) computing. The Vuzix M100 Smart Glasses now support Atheer's AiR Suite, which offers remote expert collaboration, management and rapid task flow deployment. The solution will be demonstrated at CES 2016.

"The M100 Smart Glasses can enhance workflows for companies in a broad range of sectors," said Paul Travers, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vuzix. "Atheer's AiR suite is well aligned with the enterprise class productivity and collaboration capabilities that our customers expect from our devices."

"We're excited to work with Vuzix, as their hardware complements and works seamlessly with our AiR Suite for Enterprise," said Alberto Torres, CEO of Atheer. "The deskless workforce in Fortune 1000 entities is growing rapidly and needs hands-free access to task-specific information, as well as real-time guidance for complex tasks. Our AiR Suite software and Vuzix M100 is a fitting combination for companies looking to maximize performance and deploy smart glasses-based productivity, immediately."

The M100 with the Atheer AiR suite enables deskless professionals to see checklists and step-by-step procedures in their smart glasses and enjoy hands-free interaction with information using simple gestures, voice, or head motion. Further, the suite enables professionals to team up with remote experts via video calls and receive guidance through real-time image annotations to resolve problems quickly. The AiR Suite also includes an intuitive task flow authoring tool that allows enterprises to create smart glasses-optimised procedures and task flows with a simple drag-and-drop interface, saving valuable R&D resources and months of development time.
