Vuzix continues to spearhead the smart glasses
market in the wearable technology industry, where the new M3000 smart glasses
has been announced. This is the latest pair of smart glasses from Vuzix, and it
is certainly worth checking out if you would like to explore the possibility of
augmenting what you see with modern marvels.
The Vuzix M3000 smart glasses happens to be a
next-generation model with enterprise-grade capability. It might not look like
much at first, but surely anyone can appreciate the fact that it sports
advanced 2.0 mm thin see-thru waveguide optics as well as a custom
high-contrast, full-color DLP “Cobra II” display engine. Expect current
workflows to improve as the Vuzix M3000 offers new opportunities that can be
explored in industrial, medical, retail, supply chain, remote help desk, and
other aspects of a particular business.
Specially designed to target commercial,
professional, and enterprise users, the all new Vuzix M3000 will rely on the
Intel Atom processor to keep it chugging along, accompanied by a monocular
display and onboard processor, 64GB of internal memory, camera streaming
ability with recording capability, and wireless connectivity support.
The Bluetooth 4.1 connectivity allows it
to pair up with an Android or iOS device seamlessly, in addition to pairing via
Wi-Fi to the Internet. There is a built-in head tracking and GPS system which
allows apps to know of the user’s location, as well as the direction and angle
of the wearer’s current view. These are crucial information to obtain
situational awareness required for numerous Augmented Reality applications out
there.
It has been ruggedized against the
likes of water, dust, and dirt, so that you can continue your work without any
worry at all. Enhanced battery packs ensure that long/high-intensity users are
able to keep the Vuzix M3000 running all day long, while lightweight batteries
will cater for low/infrequent users. There is no word on pricing, but it should
be released to the masses some time this summer.
