“Field service typically involves a ‘see-what-I-see’ application that can deliver knowledge to a technician in the field,” Vuzix says. “When ‘see-what-I-see’ applications are delivered through to a hands-free pair of smart glasses, technicians in the field are almost instantly more productive because they can work with both hands and simultaneously have access to the information and expertise they need to solve their problem efficiently”.

The company says that a single use of smart glasses in the field can save its customers tens of thousands of dollars, especially if key equipment failures can be remedied faster or avoided all together. TechSight provides secure peer-to-peer video and audio connectivity and requires only a Wi-Fi connection to enable technicians to stream live video and audio to specialists watching remotely on a computer.
