Vuzix has enhanced its flagship M400 enterprise smart glasses by upgrading to Android 13, providing businesses with a more secure and efficient way to manage their wearable technology.
This update ensures that users can enjoy advanced security protocols and improved device management, making it simpler for companies to deploy these smart glasses across large teams while upholding the highest levels of security.
Vuzix has announced that the Android 13 upgrade, now accessible to all M400 users, brings several key enhancements. These include enhanced Wi-Fi networking algorithms, refined Android permissions management, and an updated developer API. The latest Android version also guarantees ongoing security support, essential for industries relying on Vuzix’s devices for hands-free, real-time data access.
“Our aim is to keep our smart glasses at the forefront of innovation while providing our customers with the necessary tools for success,” stated Paul Travers, president and CEO of Vuzix. “With Android 13, our customers can take advantage of advanced security features and streamlined device management, crucial for companies planning extensive deployments.”
Travers also noted that the update builds on Vuzix’s previous innovations, such as the Ultralite smart glasses introduced in 2023. The Ultralite design prioritizes practicality with features like hands-free notifications and navigation, setting a new standard for smart eyewear. Their lightweight design (weighing only 38 grams) and microLED technology make them a user-friendly, low-power solution, ideal for enterprise and consumer use.
The Android 13 upgrade further enables developers by providing updated APIs, transitioning from Android API 30 to 33, offering a more robust platform for creating customized software solutions for the M400. This improved compatibility with third-party apps allows businesses to further personalize their workflows, enhancing productivity and efficiency.
The demand for wearable technology continues to rise across industries like healthcare, logistics, and field services, where hands-free operations and real-time data access are essential. With these enhancements, Vuzix’s M400 smart glasses remain a top choice for businesses looking to enhance operational efficiency through cutting-edge wearable technology.
“Deploying Android 13 enables our enterprise customers to securely manage their devices and benefit from the latest Android features within third-party apps,” added Travers.
Established in 1997, Vuzix has a history of innovation in augmented reality and smart glasses technology and offers solutions for industries including defense, healthcare, and manufacturing.
