Vuzix Corporation announced a partnership with Houston-based software developer Shiny Box Interactive to advance military medical training and remote-mentoring solutions on the Vuzix Ultralite Pro OEM smart glasses platform. Shiny Box has previously supported U.S. military augmented reality training using Vuzix M4000 smart glasses, and its work has included CBRNE, medical, surgical and critical-care training that connects emergency medical personnel with remote subject-matter experts. The company is now extending that experience to the Ultralite Pro, Vuzix' lightweight, see-through waveguide-based OEM platform for defense and tactical applications. The Shiny Box platform is designed to provide hands-free remote mentoring and real-time situational guidance across multiple communications environments, including Starlink satellite and cellular broadband, local-area networks and mobile ad hoc networks, with applications in tactical medical training, casualty-care support, evacuation coordination and access to remote specialists. Todd Daniel, Managing Partner at Shiny Box Interactive, said bringing the platform to Ultralite Pro is an important next step toward a lighter, more wearable see-through smart glasses platform for demanding military and tactical environments, while Vuzix President and CEO Paul Travers said military medicine is a compelling example of how the platform can bring mission-relevant information and remote expertise closer to the point of need.
