Next-Gen Smart Glasses

The Vuzix Next Generation Smart Glasses Received Three CES 2021 Awards

— December 29, 2020 — Fashion
The design and engineering of Vuzix Corporation's Vuzix Next Generation Smart Glasses resulted in three CES 2021 Innovation Awards. The smart wearable took home awards in categories for Computer Peripherals and Accessories, Portable Media Players and Accessories and Wearable Technologies. The style-forward, feature-packed glasses are said to combine most features of smartwatches and smartphones, all in the form of a comfortable eyewear design.

The next-gen smart glasses for hands-free connectivity boast a 3D display powered by one of the smallest micro-LED display engines in the world. The glasses allow for voice commands and gestures to be made with ease and Vuzix CEO Paul Travers calls the award-winning design “a balance of technology, style and substance."
