Vuzix CEO Gives Statement On Partnership With Facebook

Full Statement From Vuzix CEO: The metaverse is not just a virtual world where people may disappear, nor a way for companies to rebrand themselves as a distraction. The metaverse is about the entire internet and augmenting the real world with all of this incredibly rich metadata. From the IoT to digital twins to, yes, even virtual worlds, Vuzix smart glasses are designed to facilitate users to connect digitally to the real world. There is going to be an almost infinite number of use cases but for a few: imagine accessing IoT sensors and systems simply as a function of where you are looking live on the plant floor, or receiving changing work instructions on the fly, or live remote guidance of complex medical procedures or equipment; and in the world of logistics, support for picking and pallet stacking with advanced information on where to stack or what to pick - all while being hands-free. The bottom line Vuzix AR smart glasses and technology seamlessly bring the metaverse and the real world together for the user and in doing so is creating cost savings and in some cases bringing capabilities unheard of before. It is going to be game changing stuff and clearly the future of computing.
