part one/ One of the hottest AR-for-enterprise companies on the market today
is Vuzix (VUZI) . This tech firm, with a market cap of $144.75 million,
has been around for nearly 20 years.
Until 2012, most of its endeavors were in the defense space,
but then it sold off that division to focus on commercial applications for its AR products.
The M100 was its first successful release,
an augmented reality headset that has become popular among airline pilots.
Now the company is beginning to ship its next model, the M300,
to its VIP customers and partners for early application and testing.
Yesterday, Vuzix announced that VMware (VMW) ,
a leader in cloud and business mobility infrastructure,
will incorporate the M300's "smart glasses" management features to
its AirWatch platform.
This will enable corporate users to
synchronize and incorporate their Vuzix smart glasses with a whole network of productivity software.

The potential here is huge, as more companies look to get into using smart glasses technology on a daily basis.
It makes Vuzix one of the most exciting up-and-coming names in AR.
Today, the stock is priced below $8.50 per share, but some analysts are calling for it to reach $30.
Augmented reality will transform the way enterprises conduct their business. Savvy investors should start peering into the reality of
AR smart glasses and prepare to make profits from companies about to
hit it big.
