Über Vuzix Corporation
Offenbar ist die Brille doch noch nicht 100 %ig in Ordnung. Ich meine auch mal gehört zu haben, dass es noch Probleme bei der Darstellung am Brillenrand gab, bin mir aber auch nicht ganz sicher...
Wenn alle Probleme gelöst wären (eigentlich wollte man Mitte des Jahres ja schon produktiv sein), wird die Rakete gezündet.
Google kommt auf jeden Fall immer näher... macht das eigentlich noch Foxconn?
Sieht bei solchen Werten immer dramatisch aus!
Hoffentlich kommt Travers langsam mal in die Startlöchern!
Würde meine Nerven schonen!
Warum wird hier derart niedrig getaxt und mit niedrigem Volumen gehandelt!?
Bei den Aussichten!?
Ausser mir niemand beunruhigt?
Alfred,
With Google Glass still a year or more away from becoming available and the Vuzix M100 Smart Glasses scheduled for release before year end 2013, I can comfortably state that an actual product is certainly better than a theoretical product. Beyond that I can only speak to a few base capabilities as I am not intimately familiar with the full array of Glass features and its features and capabilities could still change dramatically with it being so far from release.
Google Glass and the Vuzix M100 Smart Glasses are very different in terms of how they work and their target markets.
Based upon my understanding of Glass, it relieves upon apps located and running on a Google server whereas the M100 is able to load and run apps directly on the device or on a paired Android device and it works with our without a Wi-Fi connection to the internet. This is a fundamental difference that impact the software available to you, bandwidth costs and lag and flexibility.
At present, Glass is not available outside of North America and I have not heard of future distribution plans.
Glass is reliant upon fixed memory, augmented by cloud storage. The M100 supports removable and upgradeable memory as well as supporting cloud access for additional.
Glass is designed primarily for the consumer market whereas the M100's primary target market is commercial use or in enabling commercial solutions. Both can be used in either market but some features and capabilities are designed for application specific requirements. As an example, the M100 works on either the left or right side to accommodate a user's dominant eye and it includes a pair of industrial safety glasses. It also provides support for an external booster battery that can extend it runtime by approximately 6.5 times to enable a full day's use, even under heavy load.
As stated earlier, these are very different products. Their similar display size and monocular design tend to make these products appear similar but they are not. Google, though huge and extremely successful, are new to the display market where as Vuzix has a rich history of developing displays, including numerous monocular display systems for the military market, DARPA and research facilities around the world.

Ron

Zeigt ja schon Wirkung! Berlin deutlich über Pari und das bei fehlendem Handel heute in den USA.
Bin sehr gespannt wie es weitergeht.
Ich hoffe wir haben noch viel Freude mit Vuzix!
nicht mehr!?
Ist der letzte deutsche Handelsplatz nun auch Geschichte?
Preise auch angegeben.

Schön wäre es natürlich auch, wenn weitere News zu der Zusammenarbeit mit Unternehmen wie SAP kommen würden.
Smart Glasses
Smart Glasses are a wearable display system with onboard intelligence. They can range from wearable display systems with only rudimentary data display capabilities to products that rely upon remote cloud connectivity for application and data processing, up to devices such as the M100 that incorporate a complete Android system comparable to current smartphones.
The Android system embedded in the M100 is able to run many thousands of existing Android apps plus Android apps customized or created exclusively for its unique design.
Video Display
A 16:9, WQVGA, full color display floats in or near your line of sight, providing an image visually equivalent to a 4 in. smartphone screen held at a typical 14 in. distance. Display arm adjustments, display tilt, and left or right eye mounting options, enable you to position the M100 for maximum effectiveness and viewing comfort. A convenient display shield maximizes visibility in bright outdoor sunlight and the small display size minimizes the visual blockage of the real-world view.
The Vuzix Smart Glasses M100 incorporates a compact White Pearl™ display module and ultra-low-power driver IC, both from Kopin Corporation.
Wearable Mounting
Which is your dominant eye? Two mounting solutions are provided with the M100, an adjustable over-the-head system as well as a safety-glass solution. Both allow for left or right eye use. The image in the M100 display rotates to accommodate either eye.
Controls
How do you control apps and features with a wearable hands-free device? With the M100 smart glasses, you are free to choose the interface method best suited to you and your application. Four control buttons on the M100, a traditional smartphone software interface and controls running remotely on a paired Android device, through voice navigation, or using gesture controls, the M100 supports them all.
Operating Modes
Three operating modes are available; Local, HUD and Collaborative.
Local:
In Local mode, applications are loaded onto and run directly on the M100 using its onboard processor and memory.
HUD:
HUD mode utilizes apps loaded and run on a paired Android device where the M100 serves as a Heads Up Display.
Collaborative:
Collaborative mode employs the power of both the M100 and a paired Android device. Applications written specifically for this operating mode are able to communicate and collaborate to maximize performance.
Each of these operating modes can be run with or without an active Internet connection.
Camera
The M100’s integrated camera captures 5 megapixel still images and 1080p high-definition video. Video and image capture can be stored directly on the M100’s memory (expandable up to 32 GB) or streamed live. Where privacy may be a concern when recording video, a “video recording indicator” light on the face of the M100 provides an alert, the same as that accepted for use with video cameras around the world.
Audio
As hinted by the M100’s form factor, audio-out is provided to a single ear. Dual microphones provide audio recording and voice input with noise cancelation.
Runtime
Battery life or “runtime” is an important consideration, especially in mission critical business, professional and industrial applications. With so many factors affecting power draw, such as the use of wireless connectivity, display brightness camera usage and more, it is impossible to accurately predict your personal runtime. To alleviate runtime concerns, regardless of your usage scenario, the M100 provides a trifecta of power options: a high capacity rechargeable internal battery, an external USB mini-B power port, plus an external battery pack extending the internal battery’s staying power seven fold.
