Vuzix Corporation has created the world’s first augmented and mixed reality sunglasses, enabling wearers to view the real-world environment and computer-generated imagery and data seamlessly, bringing mixed and augmented reality content to life.
In a press release from the company Paul Travers, CEO Vuzix Corporation, said, “The Wrap 920AR breaks the barriers between real and virtual world consumer experiences and brings a world changing capability to the market in a state-of-the-art form factor.“
Mr. Travers continued, “With the Wrap 920AR video game developers and other publishers can design characters to come to life in your living room. Magazines and books can have animated links back to the web in real time. Further, there is countless business, education and health care applications that we anticipate our product will be used for, such as assembly, maintenance, warehouse management and logistics, medical surgery, training and education. With our software development kit (SDK), which has now shipped to more than 2,700 application developers, we anticipate thousands of new, heretofore unachievable, applications to come to the market in the future.”
Available only in limited quantity, early shipments of the Wrap 920AR retail for £1499.00 / €1699.00 inc VAT, bundled with Vuzix’s MAXimum3D software, a plug-in for Autodesk 3ds Max Design software.
Be afraid, be very afraid!
