ROCHESTER, N.Y., Jan. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Vuzix® Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), ("Vuzix" or, the "Company"), a leading provider of AI-enabled smart glasses, waveguides, and Augmented Reality (AR) technology, is excited to showcase its latest innovations and joint solutions at the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada, from January 6-9. Visitors can experience Vuzix' advanced hardware solutions and waveguide technologies at Booth #19340 in the Center Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

OEM Waveguides: Powering Mission-Critical and Next-Gen Wearables

On the OEM waveguide front, Vuzix is once again pushing the boundaries of what's possible in advanced optics. Collins Aerospace will join Vuzix in booth #19340 to demonstrate a fully functional military helmet integrating Vuzix waveguides, showcasing the performance and durability required for mission-critical defense applications. Visitors can also take part in an interactive simulated drone-flying experience, demonstrating the precision, clarity, and responsiveness enabled by Vuzix optics.

Beyond defense solutions, Vuzix will also have on display its waveguide technology integrated with display projectors from partners that include Avegant, Himax, Hongshi, JBD, and Saphlux. Paired with cutting-edge display engines, from microLEDs to ultra-compact, full-color LCoS projectors, as well as a novel laser-LCoS projector from partner Vitrealab, these solutions showcase how these technologies are shaping the next generation of lightweight, AI-powered wearable devices. Some of these solutions will be shown as implemented in the Ultralite Pro enterprise platform and Z100™ smart glasses.

Also on display in the Vuzix booth will be a jointly developed binocular smart glasses reference design that sets a new benchmark for affordability, performance, and wearability. The lightweight, ultra-compact design, available to be manufactured by Quanta Computer for OEMs, pairs Vuzix' advanced waveguides with an Avegant full-color LCoS light engine to deliver bright, crisp visuals in a discreet binocular form factor with Vuzix' Incognito™ viewing technologies and a push-pull prescription lens system that seamlessly supports users with or without vision correction.

Enterprise Smart Glasses: Real Work. Real Impact. Live at CES.

Vuzix will showcase how augmented reality is revolutionizing frontline work with live, hands-on demonstrations focused on logistics, field service, and step-by-step work instructions. Using Vuzix LX1™ smart glasses, the Vuzix Ultralite® Pro platform, and Vuzix M400™ smart glasses, attendees will see how enterprise teams can work faster, safer, and smarter—without ever taking their hands off the job. Powered by Vuzix Mobilium warehousing software and software partners Augmex and Field Pal these demos highlight real-world deployments where AR combines with AI to deliver immediate productivity gains and measurable ROI.

Vuzix Solutions: One-Stop Deployment at Scale

Building on these demonstrations, the Company's President of Enterprise Solutions, Dr. Chris Parkinson, will unveil the soft launch of a faster, easier path for scalable smart glasses deployments with his Vuzix Solutions go-to-market strategy and smart glasses kits. Combining rugged hardware, proven software specific to client needs, AI capabilities, and deployment support, Vuzix Solutions is expected to roll out in 1Q2026, and delivers a complete ecosystem for clients to best utilize the power of AR and AI in the workplace.

"Our products and core technologies continue to raise the bar for performance, scalability, and value, which has helped us build relationships with global leaders spanning collaboration, production and customers," said Paul Travers, President and CEO of Vuzix.
