Vuzix Wins CES Innovation Award For Augmented Reality
See-Through Glasses
LAS VEGAS, NV -- (January 5, 2011) - Vuzix Corporation (TSX-V: VZX, OTC:BB: VUZI) (“Vuzix” or
the “Company”) announced today that it has won an Innovation Award at the 2011 Consumer
Electronics Show (CES) for its revolutionary see-through Augmented Reality (AR) eyewear. Code
named “Raptyr”, the glasses look and wear like a conventional pair of glasses. However, through a
holographic optics engine, the wearer can simultaneously view the real world around them and
computer-generated content. Raptyr includes a 6-megapixel camera, industry standard VGA and
USB interfaces and it utilizes Vuzix patented tracking and connectivity technology. These features
enable a wide variety of mobile augmented reality applications, advanced information access and
gaming capabilities to be brought to the wearer’s experience. Similar to watching a 70-inch flat panel
television from a distance of 10-feet Raptyr is expected to be the most advanced video eyewear ever
delivered. At present, the company has not announced a release date for the product.
Paul J. Travers, Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are very honored to win this Innovation Award, our
seventh in a row at CES, among such a competitive field of great inventions. While we have
consistently delivered new technology each year to our customers, Raptyr represents our most
significant break through yet in design and capability that, we believe, will have wide reaching impact
on the way we use our computers and mobile devices.”
Raptyr is the world’s first sunglass style Video Eyewear that is designed specifically for the wide
variety of Augmented Reality applications that are in development for consumer, commercial,
medical, educational, gaming and defense markets. It provides a natural and easy to use interface to
applications and it is a very powerful platform that offers a personalized and mobile home-theatre
experience that enables digital content to be mixed into a real worldview. Today Raptyr is compatible
only with devices with VGA and USB interfaces. Future enhancements to the product will include
HDMI compatibility and connectivity for mobile devices such as the iPhone and Android phones.
Initial markets for Raptyr will be commercial and research applications. As enhancements are made
to Raptyr and as sales volumes increase, the company expects consumer applications to become
available.
Mr. Travers continued, “Raptyr video eyewear will offer our customers a world changing experience in
how they are able to interact with their computers and mobile devices. It will simplify how they use
applications like visual search and Google’s Street View and it will bring to life digital media in the
wearer’s real worldview. We see Raptyr as an important enabling technology and look forward to the
day when AR eyewear becomes a standard for mobile entertainment, games and applications.”
Vuzix will have Raptyr on display at the 2011 International Consumer Electronics Show, January 6th to
9th and will be demonstrating a number of augmented reality applications. Visit Vuzix at the Las Vegas
Convention Center’s Central Hall, Booth #11740.
