The alliance brings together industry-leading hardware and software to offer one of the best telepresence solutions on the market empowering enterprises to dramatically improve how teams remotely collaborate for hands-on activities.
“Our customers are generating incredible ROI. What used to cost them $2,500 per day now costs next to nothing. Using Vuzix technologies, we are delivering an incredible telepresence solution for clients in life sciences, industrial equipment, field service and healthcare,” said Kyle Samani, co-founder and CEO of Pristine.
“Pristine’s EyeSight platform is a killer app for the exploding smart glasses market and enables users to collaborate in industries and locations never before imagined,” said Dan Cui, Vice President of Business Development at Vuzix. “Having Pristine’s solution optimized for our award-winning smart glasses will open new opportunities and deliver real value and ROI to customers around the world.”
Customers who take advantage of the combined Pristine and Vuzix platform will benefit from numerous advantages including outstanding video quality, strong integrations into safety goggles and a vertically adjustable camera, useful for surgery and hands-on repair tasks.
Pristine’s EyeSight is a powerful video communication platform for wearables that allows colleagues to securely collaborate and solve problems hands-free. Users just power on the glasses, and say “request support.” Relevant colleagues are notified, and can call into Vuzix’ smart glasses powered by Pristine’s EyeSight platform. The cross-platform architecture is built on powerful open source technologies and hosted in the cloud, requiring no on-site hardware and allowing users to get up and running quickly with zero capital investment. And for healthcare organizations, EyeSight also fulfills strict requirements for HIPAA-compliance.
The Vuzix M100 Smart Glasses are the world’s first commercially available hands-free display and wearable computer designed for enterprise users. The M100 contains a virtual display with an integrated camera and a powerful processing engine, running the Android® OS to wirelessly connect via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi directly to most standard networks or to a smartphone.
