ROCHESTER, N.Y., Jan. 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Vuzix®
Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), ("Vuzix" or, the "Company"), a leading
supplier of Smart-Glasses, Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual
Reality (VR) technologies and products for the consumer and
enterprise markets, is pleased to announce that the Company will
showcase its CES 2016 Innovation awards winner, the new M3000 Smart
Glasses, at CES 2017. The Company's latest smart glasses product
for enterprise and prosumer will be unveiled and operational at
PEPCOM's Digital Experience from 7:00 to

4, at the Mirage Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip; and then at
the Vuzix booth at the Las Vegas
Convention Center, Central Hall Booth #13246, from January 5 to 8, 2017.
Vuzix next-generation, enterprise-grade smart glasses, the Vuzix
M3000 Smart Glasses, features advanced 2.0 mm thin see-thru
waveguide optics and a custom high-contrast, full-color DLP "Cobra
II" display engine. The M3000 Smart Glasses improve existing
workflows and open new opportunities in industrial, medical,
retail, supply chain, remote help desk, and other aspects of the
user's business. The M3000 has been purpose-designed for
commercial, professional, and enterprise users. The new M3000
design is based on a common core platform using the Intel Atom
processor, which drives both the new Vuzix M300 and M3000 devices.
It includes a monocular display and onboard processor, 64 gig of
built-in memory, camera streaming and recording features, and
wireless connectivity capabilities.
Vuzix M3000 provides most of the features and capabilities of a
modern smartphone in a hands-free wearable device. Bluetooth 4.1
connectivity makes it ideal to pair with Android and iOS devices or
connect wirelessly with Wi-Fi to the Internet. An integrated head
tracking and GPS system provides apps with the user's location, as
well as the direction and angle of the wearer's current view, for
the situational awareness needed for many Augmented Reality
applications. Voice, button press, and touch pad with gesture
controls, along with an exterior that's ruggedized against water,
dust, and dirt, give the user the versatility to navigate and use
the M3000 in almost any working environment. The device also offers
flexibility through the inclusion of enhanced battery packs for
long/high-intensity users and lightweight batteries for
low/infrequent users. The M3000 will be introduced by summer
2017.
