At the 2017 Augmented World Expo (AWE) in Santa Clara today, smartglasses maker Epson introduced two new augmented reality headsets from its Moverio line of products.
The Epson Moverio BT-350 augmented reality smartglasses are aimed to be shared among multiple users. It can provide remote assistance to fleets of field technicians in a workforce or immersive experiences to visitors at museums, amusement parks, and the like.

Meanwhile, the Epson Moverio Pro BT-2200 headset is designed to accommodate safety helmets in industrial or enterprise settings.
“Demonstrating Epson’s ongoing leadership and commitment to the market, the Epson Moverio BT-350 are the first production-volume smart glasses designed for a busy, commercial environment where the glasses are shared by users,” said Michael Leyva, product manager of Augmented Reality Solutions for Epson America, in anews release.
Both models are expected to be available from directly from Epson or by way of select resellers in June; with the Moverio BT-350 retailing for $1,399 and the Moverio Pro BT-2200 carrying a price tag of $2,999.

The Moverio BT-350 employs a flexible design made of durable components, with temples that extend so that one size fits all and adjustable nose pads to accommodate prescription glasses. An optional Quint Controller Dock ($699) charges and administrates up to five devices.
The smartglasses are equipped with a front-facing five-megapixel camera and Wi-Fi connectivity to facilitate remote support scenarios.
