Vuzix Corp. (VUZI) Partnership with Pristine Optimizes Smart Glasses Technology for Business

Vuzix Corp., an award-winning supplier of video eyewear and smart glasses products in the consumer, commercial and entertainment markets, has entered into a partnership to utilize Vuzix M100 Smart Glasses for Pristine’s Eyesight platform for the enterprise market. The alliance combines industry-leading hardware and software to produce powerful telepresence solutions that empower enterprises to improve how teams remotely collaborate for hands-on activities.

Pristine’s EyeSight is a video communication platform that allows colleagues to securely collaborate and solve problems hands-free using wearables. The platform offers multiple advantages such as superior video quality, strong integrations into safety goggles, and a vertically adjustable camera, useful for surgery and hands-on repair tasks.

Users simply power on the glasses, and say “request support.” Relevant colleagues are notified, and can call into Vuzix’ smart glasses powered by Pristine’s EyeSight platform. The cross-platform architecture utilizes open source technologies and is hosted in the cloud, which means users can quickly get started with zero capital investment and no on-site hardware. For healthcare organizations, EyeSight also fulfills strict requirements for HIPAA-compliance.

“Our customers are generating incredible ROI. What used to cost them $2,500 per day now costs next to nothing. Using Vuzix technologies, we are delivering an incredible telepresence solution for clients in life sciences, industrial equipment, field service and healthcare,” Kyle Samani, co-founder and CEO of Pristine stated in the news release.

The Vuzix M100 Smart Glasses are the world’s first commercially available hands-free display and wearable computer designed for enterprise users. The M100 contains a virtual display with an integrated camera and a powerful processing engine, running the Android® OS to wirelessly connect via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi directly to most standard networks or to a smartphone.

“Pristine’s EyeSight platform is a killer app for the exploding smart glasses market and enables users to collaborate in industries and locations never before imagined,” said Dan Cui, vice president of Business Development at Vuzix. “Having Pristine’s solution optimized for our award-winning smart glasses will open new opportunities and deliver real value and ROI to customers around the world.”

Vuzix holds 39 patents and 12 additional patents pending and numerous IP licenses in the video eyewear field. The company has won Consumer Electronics Show (or CES) awards for innovation for the years 2005 to 2014 and several wireless technology innovation awards, among others.
