ROCHESTER, N.Y., Jan. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Vuzix®
Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), ("Vuzix" or, the "Company"), a
leading supplier of Smart Glasses and Augmented Reality (AR)
technology and products, today announced that the Company's Vuzix
Blade® Smart Glasses were selected by the National
Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) Public Safety
Communications Research Division (PSCR) to demonstrate an augmented
reality traffic stop scenario for first responders at CES 2020.
Using the Vuzix Blade Smart Glasses, PSCR will demonstrate an AR
application that provides critical information to the responding
officer during a traffic stop scenario. While wearing smart glasses
that appear like an ordinary pair of eyewear, the officer will see
a visual cue of color and accompanying haptic feedback (vibration)
when viewing a driver license with a criminal record. The officer
can compare this to the different cues they receive when viewing a
license with no criminal record or a license that cannot be matched
to a record. This demonstration intends to simulate the kind of
technology that provides situation awareness information that is
unobtrusive to the user.
"NIST's PSCR Division has developed a powerful use case for
first responders using the Vuzix Blade Smart Glasses,"
said Paul Travers, President and Chief Executive Officer at
Vuzix. "Vuzix continues to steadily expand its presence in the
security and first responder space and NIST's demonstration
represents the latest example of this expansion."
NIST's Public Safety Communications Research (PSCR) Division
will exhibit in Las Vegas, Nevada
at Tech East South Halls 3-4 at Booth #31877 from January
7-10.
