Vuzix and TeamViewer Support the Broadening Use of Smart Glasses at Ricoh Japan

Vuzix to conduct a panel discussion with Ricoh Japan and TeamViewer on May 24

ROCHESTER, NY, May 19, 2022 – Vuzix® Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), ("Vuzix" or, the "Company"), a leading supplier of Smart Glasses and Augmented Reality (AR) technology and products, today announced that the Company and its partner TeamViewer, a leading provider of remote access software, are enabling Ricoh Japan, a global provider of digital services, printing and imaging solutions, to expand its use of Vuzix smart glasses. Vuzix will conduct a panel discussion with Ricoh Japan and TeamViewer on May 24, 2022 at an event in Japan to be held at The Capital Hotel Tokyu.

 

When supporting conventional equipment such as copiers, printers, and multifunction printers, Ricoh Japan needed to ensure a high level of customer satisfaction was maintained.   Ricoh Japan started employing Vuzix M400 smart glasses along with TeamViewer software in late 2020 and has scaled its usage in 2021.   The combined solution made it possible to view the equipment at the service location when needed and issue instructions via augmented reality from the office. By placing a marker on the screen, the location in question could be tracked even if the camera direction was changed. This allowed users to share more precise instructions. The engineers on site, together with the many supporting engineers behind the scenes, could provide precise responses in real time. As a result, Ricoh Japan has reported that its servicing times have been cut by a few hours per case.  

 

Ricoh’s latest use of Vuzix smart glasses is within its internship program

 

More recently, Ricoh Japan has utilized the use of Vuzix smart glasses in their internship program with the expectation that more students would participate in it because they were interested in using smart glasses. Furthermore, after participating in the internship, the number of students who wanted to join the company increased. Ricoh Japan stated that those who were interested in smart glasses were more likely to be suitable for employment with the firm. As a result, Ricoh Japan now considers them to also be an effective recruiting tool. 

 

“Vuzix smart glasses are multifunctional in terms of how many ways they can offer value to a customer,” said Paul Travers, President and Chief Executive Officer at Vuzix. “They are lightweight, comfortable and completely wireless, making them ideal for product firms such as Ricoh Japan, which has significant installation and servicing needs around the world. We look forward to working with TeamViewer to help them further expand their usage of our smart glasses going forward.”
