Vuzix wins $1.2M-plus in new orders from Rods & Cones for monthly deliveries of Vuzix M400 Smart Glasses

Vuzix Corporation (NASDAQ:VUZI) announced that it has received new orders from Rods & Cones, a provider of a fully virtual surgical collaboration platform, for monthly deliveries of Vuzix M400 Smart Glasses beginning immediately and over the remainder of 2021.

The orders, valued in excess of EUR1 million (more than US$1.2 million), will support optimized remote interactions between surgeons and experts in the operating theatre using Vuzix smart glasses, the company said.

The Rods & Cones platform, combined with the Vuzix M400 Smart Glasses’ 13 MP phase-detect autofocus camera, will let frontline workers in the operating room, ICU, or other medical facilities as well as surgeons, instrumentalist nurses, and other healthcare professionals provide 4K broadcast-quality imagery to others while interacting with patients and staff from a safe distance.
