Product information
The Vuzix Blade Upgraded is an AR smart glass device that is particularly suited for remote expert use cases. With the Blade Upgraded, the expert can easily watch and manage proceedings during inspections, maintenance & repair jobs.
Advantages
Firstly, the Blade Upgraded is easy to wear, as a result of its lightweight glasses inspired design, which features a built in display in the right lens of the device. The Blade Upgrade can therefore be worn for extended periods of time without issue.
Secondly, the Vuzix Blade Upgraded is the best entry level AR headset available, due to its budget friendly price point, compared to the RealWear HMT-1 and Vuzix M400. The low price point of the Vuzix Blade makes it ideal for integrating smart glasses into your organisation for the first time.
Thirdly, the Blade has an autofocus 8-megapixel camera and is able to capture video footage in 720p at 30fps or 1080p at 24fps. The quality of the camera is similar to current day smartphones enough for remote experts to view and manage sessions with engineers in high enough quality on a large display . As a result, remote expertise can be effectively managed and undertaken with the Blade Upgraded.
Compared to the original Blade the Vuzix Blade Upgraded has been greatly improved in the department of safety. The Upgraded Blade is now ANSI Z87.1 certified, able to withstand direct impacts against the lenses now making it better suited for industrial applications.
Finally, the Vuzix Blade can be controlled through the built in touchpad or via voice commands.
One important thing to know about the Blade Upgraded is that it must be connected to a smartphone to be used.
