Vuzix Shield
Vuzix, a publicly traded supplier of smart glasses and augmented reality technologies, brought its Shield brand of AR smart glasses to CES 2022.
Previously known as the Vuzix Next Generation Smart Glasses, the Shield is lightweight and prescription-ready, according to the Rochester, N.Y.-based company. The glasses have an eight-core processor and can scan codes, stream video from the field and run an ultra light-emitting diode (uLED) stereo display.
The glasses use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR1 platform and Vuzix’s proprietary waveguide optics for a see-through heads-up display. The company has a partner network, with Converge IoT as a distributor in North America, according to Vuzix. It also has a network of independent software vendors including Bluejeans and Facepro.
