Vuzix Corporation (NASDAQ:VUZI) (FRA:V7XN), a leading supplier of smart glasses and Augmented Reality technology, announced on Friday that the Vuzix M4000 Smart Glasses were recently used to perform a successful worksite inspection via a DJI Mavic 2 Pro drone used by Drones4Geology, a Barcelona-based provider of geologic-related drone services.
The Rochester, New York-based company said the combined technology was used to access hard to reach areas and bring a different perspective of the study area to the end-customers, including the inspection of cranes, elevated facilities and various machinery.
"With the Vuzix M4000 Smart Glasses and my DJI Mavic 2 Pro drone, I was able to perform a complex flight in very narrow areas and camera view to ensure the best capture of the facilities I was monitoring,” Drones4Geology co-founder Fernando Borràs Castelló said in a statement.
“In summary, I was able to perform my work in a much safer way as I was in visual control of the drone every moment."
In the meantime, Vuzix CEO Paul Travers noted that the Vuzix M4000 Smart Glasses are being “put to work to solve business problems” by its customer base.
“Drone4sGeology is another example of a customer that has turned to Vuzix Smart Glasses to better support its business operations and customers in its day-to-day activities," added Travers.
The company's products include personal display and wearable computing devices that offer users a high-quality viewing experience, solutions for mobility, wearable displays and augmented reality. Vuzix holds 184 patents, pending patents and numerous IP licenses in the video eyewear field.
