Aero-News Quote of the Day
"Creating a solution for the aviation industry isn't an easy task and collecting and using the data is one of the biggest technological challenges the industry faces. But with a dedicated team with many years' experience in innovative technologies, business and aviation and partnering with Vuzix' great products, we were able to make this solution possible. We are pleased to begin this program with the help of Vuzix. Once we got our hands on the M100, we knew this was going to be our primary device. The M100 Smart Glasses offer an amazing user experience for the pilot, much better than using any other kind of glasses and we are excited about the real work application."
