Hands Free
Modeled after a conventional ear-mounted hands free system used with smartphones, the Vuzix smart glasses, model M100 expands the design to include a camera and display arm.The smart glasses can be worn in multiple ways, in front of the left or right eye and using any of the available mounting options including over-ear, over-head or behind-head.
Wireless BT and Wi-Fi connectivity to a smartphone enable a mobile connection to the Cloud. Though application control can be performed using control software on a smartphone, supported voice and gesture commands enhance the smart glasses hands free experience.
Of course, speaker and noise cancelling microphone are included as well.
Video - Display
Presented on an arm in front of your eye, a 16:9, WQVGA, full Color display provides visual access to your smartphone display, basic web content and other data fed to the smart glasses by your smartphone and on onboard applications.The 16-degree field of view and bright display is designed for indoor and outdoor use.
Applications
The Vuzix smart glasses, model M100 contain a dedicated processor running an Android operating system.
Android applications can be downloaded directly into the smart glasses and both Android and IOS (i.e.: iPhone and iPad) applications can be wirelessly linked to the smart glasses via BT and Wi-Fi.
By connecting to and using smartphone applications you can run text, video, email, mapping, audio and other applications we have come to enjoy on smartphones. You can also run onboard or remote applications specifically designed or enhanced for smart glasses use.
