The VistaFinder Mx solution leverages the camera and head-mounted display of the Vuzix M300 Smart Glasses to overlay AR images on the user's real-time view to aid in remote support applications. Technicians can work more efficiently and hands-free by viewing the AR image on the M300, as opposed to holding a smartphone or tablet to view the screen.

VistaFinder Mx is a remote operations supporting system that allows videos taken by smartphones, tablets, mobile PCs and now smart glasses to relay remotely from the field over various types of networks, simply, securely, and in high quality. The system provides a variety of functions, including issuing operational instructions by AR through live audio and video streaming, recording of on-site video, and hands-free transmission with wearable cameras. The service is available in English, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean.

"The availability of M300 on VistaFinder Mx remote support application expands our geographical distribution capabilities of the M300 Smart Glasses worldwide through KDDI, a Vuzix VIP partner and M300 value added reseller," said Paul Travers, President and Chief Executive Officer at Vuzix. "Our M300 Smart Glasses feature a 1080p video and image-stabilized auto-focus camera that is ideal for relaying high-quality video content remotely in the field."
