The video takes you through how you could use a Vuzix Blade 2 in everyday life to just save time and avoid glancing at the ever present mobile device.
The day starts with connecting to my phone on bluetooth and it then goes away in my pocket which will be the last time i touch it till i'm home!
On with the augmented reality glasses, time to get an Uber to the airport. Alexa books the Uber, updates me as i wait.
On the way to the airport my Vuzix Blade tells me i'm in luck, I have a powder day in Park City.
The flight gate is switched at the airport, but I don't have to check a screen or my phone as my Blade keeps me posted.
I watch what I want to on the plane!
My ride to the resort is effortless as i can keep updated on the way.
The best run of the day is recorded and Strava tells me i'm not breaking the sound barrier as I bounce my turns.
The Mrs decides to lark about - and yes we recorded it!
Then it's check the best pub for the meet up
And Après Ski with my besties
The phones in the pocket the whole time, and whilst this is an example having fun we can see how the blade could be used for handsfree picking, "view picking" in a logistics warehouse.
