1 Augmented Reality Innovation As A Game Changer SAP Forum Lausanne 17 June 2014 Dan C. Cui VP Business Development Vuzix Corp. (OTC: QB: VUZI)

2 Augmented Reality (AR) Definition Information (augmented) displayed over user s view (reality) Context-Aware: e.g. Movement, Geo position Real time information: e.g. Pictures, Text, Voice Information displayed via simple commands (touch, voice, gestures ) Multiple Form Factors Smart Glasses Smart Phones Tablets 2

3 Augmented Reality Digitally enhanced view of the real world 3

4 Market Research Predictions Deloitte - Technology, Media & Telecommunications Predictions Report - Smart Glasses are a go! - early adopters in 2014 may well number in their millions - demand increasing to the tens of millions by 2016 Gartner Group - In 2017, smart glasses may begin to save the field service industry $1B per year Strategic Analytics - wearable device apps will drive sales to 125M units by

5 $30B Ecosystem Source: Wearable World Inc. 5

6 All Shapes And Sizes But Few Have Solid IP 6

7 History of wearable displays It is arguable that the wearable display is the most intriguing The idea has been around for a while Wearable TV patent filed

8 History of Wearable Technology 1960: Morton Heilig patents a headmounted stereophonic television display. 1966: Ivan Sutherland creates first computer-based head-mounted display 8

9 What s Changed??? 9

10 Technology; Computers, Mobile OS, WiFi, 4G, etc. 10

11 Systems On Chips (SoC) 11

12 The M100 The World s FIRST Commercially Available Smart Glasses 12

13 General Components of AR Systems I. Computer Synthesize augmentation II. Display Display virtual objects III. Navigation Data for positioning and orientation of virtual objects (from markers / sensors) IV. Wireless V. Interface Control the AR-Experience Speech recognition Buttons, touch Gesture recognition Context awareness sensors Codes (QR, ) 13

14 Vuzix M100 Smart Glasses Features Hands-free wearable computing, display & communications platform Google Android OS WQVGA digital seethrough display 1080p camera Earbud Microphone Inertial Sensor (IMU) Compass & GPS Voice Recognition Gesture Recognition WiFi & Bluetooth Safety Glasses Up to 8 hours of use Runs thousands of Android apps 14

15 Vuzix Smart Glasses Standalone or Cloud Connected Native Apps run on M100 Standalone Enterprise Apps HMD Apps run on Smartphone ios or Android Cloud Optional, all modes Cooperative Related Apps run on Smartphone and M100 ios or Android 15

16 Wearability What about the ID, are these really fashionable? Optics is not that easy. Conventional refractive and reflective optics have limits Carl Zeiss - Cinemizer Sony - HMZ Meta Epson - Moverio Kopin - Golden-I 16 Google - Glass

17 Prisms And Things! The math is simple: Higher resolution & better FOV = Bigger Prisms 17

18 1 st Tries At See-Through Venetian Blinds and Squares 18 but with distortions

19 New Approaches are needed; Waveguide Optics Waveguides are a revolutionary way of moving light - Image is injected into a 1.4mm thin waveguide like a fiber optic - Not bent through bulk material like conventional optics Provides a significant improvement in - Mass, cost, volume, simplicity and optical performance Conventional Optics Waveguide Optics 19

20 Vuzix Technology IP for Smart Glasses Million invested Vuzix IR&D and US Government - Passive and Dynamic Holographic waveguide optic for existing 2D displays - Hi contrast LED micro scanning display engine - Government SBIRs and development programs for curved surfaces, large FOVs and full color guides All purpose built for eye glass form factors or (Built for the real world eyeglass environment) NOKIA + VUZIX Vuzix secures Nokia technology license for see-through optics GOVERNMENT Advanced Display and Optics Development Contracts. Supports Vuzix Business Strategy and Technology Paths 20

21 Binocular See-Through Style, Functionality, and True AR 21

22 The M2000AR For Industrial Use First waveguide based solution Ruggedized for industrial applications 720p display and 1080p camera HDMI Interface Electronic sunglass tint 30 FOV Integrated head tracking Integrated compass Anodized aluminum alloy 22

23 The Results: M2000AR Display, Thin, See-through & Bright 23

24 More Fashionable, Wearable, Binocular Smart Glasses First binocular fashion-wear smart glasses Android OS qhd displays (960 x 540) 1080p camera 30 or better FOV Voice and gesture recognition Wireless connectivity True eyeglass styling & electrotint Industrial designs being done now! 24

25 Applications For Smart Glasses And Augmented Reality Real Time, Hands Free, Info on Tap, Image/Video Capture, Scan Code Reading and More 25

26 If You re Not Doing It, You re Falling Behind! Airbus - MiRA BMW Audi Boeing Raytheon Mitsubishi Electric Johnson & Johnson Chrysler DePuy Panduit... The list of companies grows daily!!! 26 Picture: MiRA - Highflyer Magazine

27 Augmented Reality Scenario 2 Examples Presented by Olivier Mercier SAP Service and Maintenance Initial Scenario Field Service Repair Scenario Warehouse Management Initial Scenario Picking Process 27

28 Field Service, Remote Diagnostics and Training 28

29 Augmenting Warehouse Operations 29

30 Summary AR is HAS changed the game! Apps once written for smartphone and tablet migrating to wearable smart glasses: - Safe, hands free operations - Improved efficiencies - Solid ROI - Positive impact on the bottom-line Competitive edge 30
