Vuzix Z100 at Global

Vuzix Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI; founded 1997 in Rochester, New York by founder and CEO Paul Travers) is a long-established enterprise smart-glasses maker. Its current AI-glasses product, the Z100, is a 38-gram pair of monochrome green microLED waveguide heads-up-display glasses with up to 48-hour battery, which reached general availability in November 2024 at $499 and targets enterprise use in warehousing, logistics, and field service, with some consumer features such as notifications, navigation, and a teleprompter through the Vuzix Connect app.

The company is genuinely commercial but small and shrinking, reporting first-quarter 2026 revenue of $1.4 million, down 12 percent year over year, a $7.1 million net loss, and a strategic pivot toward OEM waveguides, display systems, and engineering services, including shipping Ultralight Pro OEM glasses to Amazon in the second quarter of 2026. On AI substance, this should not be inflated as an AI wearable: the Z100's AI is an interface layer that surfaces intelligence computed elsewhere, through cloud large-language-model integrators such as SimplyVideo wrapping OpenAI, transcription and translation engines, and warehouse and ERP integrations, with no verified first-party on-device AI model, so it belongs in the registry as enterprise augmented-reality display hardware with AI-integration capability.

Its earlier Blade and Blade Upgraded glasses are discontinued, with Blade 2 as the current enterprise successor.
