ROCHESTER, NY, January 18, 2022 – Vuzix® Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), ("Vuzix" or, the "Company"), a leading supplier of Smart Glasses and Augmented Reality (AR) technology and products, and AMA (EURONEXT GROWTH: ALAMA), a pioneer of assisted reality and workflow management software solutions, today announced the reinforcement of their partnership to grow and strengthen both organization’s ability to deliver world-class remote collaboration for the deskless workforce.

Vuzix and AMA have been closely working together for over five years and are now widening the scope of their partnership agreement to accelerate the digital transformation of their joint industrial and healthcare customer base. By proposing the lightweight and ergonomically versatile Vuzix M400 smart glasses on the entire XpertEye remote assistance product range, customers will be able to boost productivity and successfully complete remote support tasks safely and efficiently.

With 18 languages available, the XpertEye assisted reality solution embraces the unparalleled and secured voice AI capabilities of this embedded speech technology.
