[{"type":"text","content":"- Vuzix, OPTAC-X and Kymeta Conduct First Ever SATCOM-enabled Augmented Reality Tactical Dive\nROCHESTER, N.Y., Feb. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Vuzix® Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), (\"Vuzix\" or, the \"Company\"), a leading supplier of Smart Glasses and Augmented Reality (AR) technology and products, announced it has entered a formal reseller relationship with OPTAC-X, a leading telehealth company that provides telehealth products and physician and remote tele-expert services networks.
