Vuzix Corporation has launched the Z100 Smart Glasses, priced at $499, offering advanced augmented reality (AR) features in a lightweight, wearable design. Weighing only 38 grams, the Z100 integrates cutting-edge waveguide technology to provide a transparent, monochrome heads-up display with up to 48 hours of battery life. It pairs with Android and iOS devices via the updated Vuzix Connect mobile app (version 1.7), delivering real-time notifications, messaging, and updates.

The Z100 caters to both everyday and enterprise users — For individuals, it enables hands-free access to smartphone functions like reading texts, navigating with Google Maps, and monitoring fitness metrics while running or cycling. Its transcription and translation features allow real-time captioning, even in different languages, without disengaging from conversations.

For enterprises, the Z100 enhances workflows by integrating with equipment such as scanners and sensors, displaying critical data in real time. Its lightweight design and safety certification make it ideal for frontline workers, providing seamless AI-driven task management and workflow optimization.

The Vuzix Connect app adds functionalities like a teleprompter and fitness tracking, offering a safer and more accessible alternative to checking smartphones or watches. The app also supports multilingual transcription, making it a powerful tool for global communications.

Paul Travers, Vuzix’s CEO, emphasized the Z100’s combination of cutting-edge AR technology and sleek, everyday wearability. Designed for wide consumer and enterprise use, the Z100 brings AI-driven efficiency to users in a stylish, cost-effective package.
