Sphere Brings Its AI-Powered Mixed Reality to Vuzix Smart Glasses

ROCHESTER, N.Y., June 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Vuzix® Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), ("Vuzix" or, the "Company"), a leading supplier of AI-powered smart glasses, waveguides and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies, today announced that the Company and Sphere Technology Holdings ("Sphere"), a leading spatial intelligence company, have collaborated to make Sphere's platform available on Vuzix M400 and M4000 AR smart glasses. This collaboration brings Sphere's advanced combination of Mixed Reality (MR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to digitally connected frontline workers, enabling hands-free workflows, real-time decision-making, and immersive, context-rich experiences.

Sphere Technology's mixed-reality (MR) platform is a cutting-edge spatial computing solution designed to merge the digital and physical worlds in real-time. By leveraging advanced capabilities such as spatial mapping, multi-user collaboration, real-world occlusion, voice and gesture recognition, and holographic rendering, Sphere delivers immersive experiences that are intuitive, scalable, and highly interactive. The platform supports both standalone and networked environments, enabling users to engage with virtual content overlaid in real-world settings — all without disrupting natural workflows. Sphere's platform is built for enterprise-scale deployment and supports integration with existing enterprise systems (e.g., PLM, ERP, CAD, and IoT platforms), making it particularly powerful for industry applications that require high levels of precision, collaboration, and context-aware computing.

"With Sphere now accessible on Vuzix' rugged, lightweight, hands-free devices, businesses can leverage powerful tools such as Microsoft Teams integration, workflow automation, and content management," said Sven Brunner, Co-founder and CEO of Sphere. "By combining Sphere's AI-driven mixed reality technology with the durability and portability of Vuzix smart glasses, the two companies are addressing critical challenges in industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, automotive, and defense. This collaboration is designed to help businesses improve operational efficiency, reduce downtime, and enhance worker safety, even in the most demanding environments."

"Vuzix M-Series smart glasses continue to strengthen their position as a leading solution across multiple enterprise verticals, and the integration of Sphere's platform further enhances their capabilities and value," said Paul Travers, President and CEO of Vuzix. "We look forward to expanding our relationship with them and bringing enterprise users new levels of functionality and productivity improvement."
