Epson Unveils Next Generation of Moverio Augmented Reality Smart Glasses

Moverio BT-40 and BT-40S, a new generation of award-winning Moverio augmented reality (AR) smart glasses, are designed to deliver a high-quality AR viewing experience with maximum comfort. Powered by Epson Si-OLED technology, the Moverio solutions offer users a number of advances including a wider field of view (FOV), Full HD 1080p display resolution, high contrast, improved connectivity, and a more comfortable, adjustable, and easy-to-wear design.

With a wide 34-deg. FOV at a comfortable position for the eyes, the BT-40 and BT-40S deliver a unique heads-up, hands-free experience with a higher resolution equivalent to viewing a 120-in. screen from a distance of 15 ft. The glasses feature improved connectivity in a new headset design with advanced weight distribution and optional nose pads that allow for enhanced comfort. An up to  500,000:1 contrast ratio allows unused display space to appear transparent and an improved aesthetic design offers glasses-style form factor and optional dark shades. The binocular design offers a see-through Si-OLED display.

Equipped with USB Type-C connectivity for a range of compatible smartphones, tablets, and computers, the Moverio BT-40 smart glasses offer an easy-to-use, plug-and-play solution that can also be managed easily with the free Moverio Link app. With a large, high-resolution second display only viewable by the wearer, the Moverio BT-40 is also ideal for business users working from home, at the office and public spaces, where privacy and comfort are essential.

The Moverio BT-40S also includes the option of an Intelligent Controller running Android 9.0 that supports Google Mobile Services (GMS) for custom software integration. Featuring an integrated touchscreen, customized user interfaces, expandable memory up to 2TB, IPx2 rating for durability, and Google Play compatibility, the controller has been tailor-made for a range of commercial applications. Additional controller features include built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, compass, accelerometer, gyroscope, 13-megapixel AF camera, flashlight, noise-canceling microphone and audio jack, and a high-performance rechargeable battery with up to five hours.

Moverio BT-40 and BT-40S smart glasses are available for pre-order and will be available on Amazon and through Epson’s distribution in Q2 for $579 and $999 MSRP, respectively.
