Vuzix
recently announced that it will be showcasing its award-winning M100 smart
glasses during the upcoming AT&T Developer Summit Hackathon. The event will
take place on January 6, 2014, at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The
event is considered to be the hackathon of the year for the AT&T Developer
Program, and this year the focus is on wearable technologies. Participants will
be able to choose between a Wearables Track and an AT&T API Track.
Finalists will be featured on stage in live fast pitches with executives during
the event’s keynote. Competitors will also have the ability to compete in
accelerator challenges, which will offer prizes ranging from a Vuzix M100 to
prizes up to $10,000 for eligible teams.
The
AT&T Summit Hackathon coincides with Vuzix’ entry into the market with its
M100 smart glasses. The wearable computer contains a virtual display with
integrated camera and powerful processing engine that runs the Android® OS. The
glasses can wirelessly connect to smartphones and other compatible devices via
Bluetooth or WiFi.
Designed
to run standalone or connected to the Internet, the Vuzix M100 works in harmony
with smartphones to open a plethora of applications. These include enterprise
applications where the M100 can play a practical role in a wide variety of
situations, ranging from warehousing and airports to hospitals and more.
Vuzix
began shipments of M100 units to developers and enterprise customers earlier
this month. As a sponsor of the event, Vuzix will provide two of its M100 smart
glasses as main prizes and will be promoted on various social media platforms
surrounding the event.
“As
one of the first commercially available smart glasses on the market, we are
pleased that AT&T has invited us to participate as a sponsor for this
year’s developer summit,” remarked Paul Travers, Vuzix’s CEO. “Our M100 smart
glasses have been designed and packaged to enable application development to
solve real world problems, and as such, we are thrilled to be working with
AT&T Summit to bring visibility to this award-winning product.”
