-   Vuzix Ultralite S smart glasses win two CES 2024 Innovation Awards

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Nov. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Vuzix® Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), ("Vuzix" or, the "Company"), a leading supplier of Smart Glasses and Augmented Reality (AR) technology and products, today announced the expansion of its Vuzix Ultralite OEM Platform^SM with its new, award winning Ultralite S AR smart glasses aimed in part at sports and fitness users.

The Vuzix Ultralite S, a design based on the Vuzix Ultralite OEM Platform, has been named a CES® 2024 Innovation Awards winner in the Wearable Technologies and Sports & Fitness categories. This represents the Company's twentieth consecutive year taking an award at CES, a significant milestone which speaks to Vuzix' track record of innovation and longevity in the AR industry. The announcement was made ahead of CES 2024, the world's most influential technology event, happening January 9-12 in Las Vegas, NV.

Vuzix' Ultralite S AR smart glasses deliver the most fashionable and lightweight pair of AR smart glasses ever assembled. Aimed in part at sports and fitness users, but boasting a sleek design that will appeal to a broad range of customers, Vuzix Ultralite S delivers hands-free, wireless connectivity to the information from the wearer's smartphone or smartwatch, in their wearer's line of sight when requested. Advanced waveguide optics and micro-LED displays create a crisp, see-through image of  directions, messaging, health and fitness information, and even workplace data. Vuzix Ultralite S also employs Vuzix Incognito technology, virtually eliminating the eyeglow or forward light found with other waveguide-based solutions. Users will stay hands-free and connected to the information needed while on the go, see visual responses from their AI bot inquiries, but still remain aware of their surroundings thanks to the heads-up display. The Vuzix Ultralite OEM Platform can be customized for different styles, colors, and technology configurations to give consumers the look and feel for their individual lifestyles.

"The Ultralite S is but one example of the attractive and functional configurations possible with our Ultralite OEM Platform," said Paul Travers, President and Chief Executive Officer at Vuzix. "We will continue to expand the design and performance of smart glasses products based on this platform as we continue to work with potential end customers on a white label basis."
