<h3>Vuzix Grows on the Back of Expanding Portfolio</h3>
VUZI is persistently expanding its display technology capability and extending its innovation for AR products to stay ahead of the competition and offers its products at low costs.
So far this year, VUZI has launched large-format waveguide panels for their use in the automobile and manufacturing industry. The company has also rolled out optical waveguides with integrated vision correction prescriptions.
Vuzix partnered with Avegant to broaden its expertise in developing optimized waveguide optical modules in order to use in future AI-enabled smart glasses. It has also partnered with Garmin to develop futuristic nano-imprinted waveguide-based display solutions.
<h3>Vuzix Faces Economic &amp; Competitive Pressure</h3>
VUZI operates in a highly competitive market space that comprises big players like Microsoft (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/msft#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Epson, Alphabet (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/googl#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/meta#NASDAQ">META</a>). These companies produce AR glasses that serve manufacturing, healthcare, logistics and entertainment.
For instance, Microsoft Hololens, with its mixed-reality features, has applications in the business and industrial front. Epson is one of the leaders in healthcare AR because of its Moverio series. Alphabet&#39;s Google Glass and Meta&#39;s Project Aria are focused on travel space.
Vuzix suffers from low industry demand for its enterprise smart glasses. Being early adopters of AR and VR products, these enterprises get skeptical about the inherent drawbacks of these solutions, including their high price and limited battery life.
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
Currently, Vuzix suffers from high competition in the AR and VR space. The company also suffers from high prices of products that curtail the demand among its customers. However, its persistent effort to expand its expertise and portfolio of innovative products makes it a formidable player in the AR industry in the long term.
Currently, VUZI does not have a Zacks Rank. Shares of Vuzix have plunged 58.9% in the year-to-date period.
At present, Microsoft, Alphabet and Meta Platforms carry a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) each.
