Vuzix Partners with SimplyVideo to Enhance Remote Training Capabilities with Smart Glasses
Leading smart glasses vendor Vuzix has announced an exciting new partnership with SimplyVideo to enhance remote training capabilities for professionals in various sectors. The collaboration will allow M400 smart glasses users to leverage real-time video streaming to share their working environment and tasks with other experts for assistance.
Vuzix sees great value in the SimplyVideo integration, particularly in sectors like healthcare, where smart glasses can help experts share knowledge based on video streams from anywhere in the world. The company is deploying the SimplyVideo-ready devices to customers who are global leaders in providing medical equipment, scanning products, and services to learn about the challenges and benefits of smart glasses in the enterprise.
To ensure the success of the SimplyVideo M400 integration, Vuzix is undergoing a six-month pilot phase to test the device at select customer sites. During the trial period, Vuzix plans to gather feedback from trainers and customers to refine the device for healthcare use. The pilot includes training sessions to assist with the product’s implementation across healthcare teams and remote experts, as well as considerations for existing workplace digital tools like Microsoft Teams.
The new SimplyVideo integration offers high-definition video streaming, Microsoft Teams connections, low-latency communication, document sharing, real-time annotation tools, and encrypted connections. Vuzix believes that the optimized smart glasses product will provide benefits such as more extensive on-site training, reduced travel costs, more free time for workers, and improved productivity.
In addition to the partnership with SimplyVideo, Vuzix has also recently launched the Vuzix Shield smart safety glasses, designed as wearable AR devices for industrial and frontline working environments. The Vuzix Shield device features prescription-ready AR smart safety glasses with stereoscopic microLED waveguide-based displays, ANSI Z87.1 safety certification, self-contained batteries, stereo HD cameras, stereo over-the-ear speakers, and noise-cancelling microphones.
The Vuzix Shield device supports voice input in 29 languages and includes AI support to enhance industrial workflows with new tools. The integrated HD cameras provide real-time feedback and increase environmental awareness through AI integration. Last year, Vuzix introduced INCOGNITO, an integrated technology for its enterprise and frontline AR smart glasses portfolio, aimed at improving product performance without impacting cost.
Overall, the partnership with SimplyVideo and the launch of the Vuzix Shield smart safety glasses demonstrate Vuzix’s commitment to innovation and providing cutting-edge solutions for professionals in various industries.
