Vuzix (NASDAQ: VUZI) Introduces M400 Xtreme Smart Glasses for Use in a Variety of Harsh Workplace Environments
Vuzix® Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), (“Vuzix” or, the “Company”), a leading supplier of smart glasses and Augmented Reality (AR) technology and products, announced the introduction of M400 Xtreme smart glasses, a new kit that incorporates numerous advancements to its already widely adopted M400, and features the new Xtreme Weather power bank, a lightweight, long lasting battery that, just like the main M400 Xtreme, is IP67-rated against dust and water intrusion and operates at temperatures ranging from -20°C to 45°C (-4°F – 113°F).
Vuzix will be offering the M400 Xtreme kit as an out-of-the-box remote support solution that improves upon its currently available M400 All Weather Kit, specifically with a greater battery capacity, use in the harshest workplace environments, and comfortable headband for long shifts. This new combination of features makes the M400 Xtreme an ideal solution for remote field service assignments and all-day cold storage warehouse duty.
To further maximize smart glasses adoption across harsh and remote field assignments, Vuzix is proud to announce a new Collaboration Package offer. For a limited time, the company will be extending all new and existing M400 customers free access to many of the most popular AR communication tools, including Vuzix Video Conferencing for Zoom. These tools enable users to start or join a meeting easily and instantly using hands-free technology, share their point of view using video streaming and more, all on Vuzix M400 smart glasses, and using the teleconferencing apps that clients have already adopted into their workflows.

“Since we first launched the M400, we’ve been continually making improvements to this product. Over time, we’ve made the display brighter and increased screen life and durability, dramatically reduced non-user voice interference, upgraded the OS, added speech recognition and applications support in 30 languages, further ruggedized the adjustable hinge mechanism and improved other key design features. The enhancements implemented were often in direct response to the operational requests and general product feedback we have received from the thousands of customers that have been actively using our smart glasses,” said Paul Travers, President and CEO of Vuzix. “Upgrading to Android 13 support, for example, is another key requirement on our strategy roadmap for the year, based on customer feedback. We’re confident that our new Collaboration Package and the release of the M400 Xtreme will meet the rising need to stay connected with peer teams regardless of location or environmental factors.”
