Epson wins Red Dot Award for Moverio BT-300 smart glasses
Seiko Epson Corporation has won the Red Dot Award in the product design category for its Moverio BT-300 smart glasses with silicon organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays.
The Moverio BT-300 features Epson’s own silicon OLED displays. “It is compact and lightweight yet delivers amazing brightness, contrast, resolution, and image quality,” the company said. Images are rendered in realistic colour and without a distracting frame around the edges of the display. These features mean that Moverio images and information are displayed seamlessly in the user’s field of view for a realistic augmented reality (AR) experience, it added.
“We always want our product designs to exceed customer expectations, but the Moverio BT-300 is more streamlined than our previous model. I think the judges recognised that the design achieves comfort and looks natural. We want to continue to make strides towards even better designs in the future,” says Hiroaki Sakai, general manager of the design department in Epson’s visual products operations division.
