[{"type":"text","content":"Vuzix' Smart Glasses business continues to accelerate around healthcare and remote support/operations applications driven by the COVID-19 pandemic\n\n\nROCHESTER, N.Y., May 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Vuzix® Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), (\"Vuzix\" or, the \"Company\"), a leading supplier of Smart Glasses and Augmented Reality (AR) technology and products, today announced hands-free voice support for Skype for Business, Zoom and Zoom for Healthcare, the latter a HIPAA/PIPEDA-compliant conferencing application, for the Vuzix M400 Smart Glasses. The latest update to the Vuzix M400 OS and updates to the Vuzix' Zoom connector application enable users to use voice to navigate and access these applications, enter passwords and join meetings, all while operating the M400 hands-free. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\"The feedback from the healthcare community was for increased hands-free operations and we're pleased to report that we have added additional functionality for our Skype for Business, Zoom and Zoom for Healthcare customers that will allow them to leverage their voice and the voice recognition engine of the Vuzix M400 Smart Glasses to deliver hands-free operations to users in the field,\" said Paul Travers, Vuzix President and Chief Executive Officer. \n\"Business growth in the current quarter at Vuzix thus far continues strong and has not slowed down, partially driven by the need for solutions that address COVID-19 related challenges,\" Mr. Travers continued. \"On the healthcare front, access to facilities such as hospitals and senior care homes that need remote eyes for doctors, care providers, repair persons, and medical equipment support has become very restricted.
