We've had a busy summer

It’s been a busy summer at Optaric.
And you may have noticed we’ve given our website a refresh too.
 
A lot has happened since we kicked off the summer at AWE in Long Beach, where we shared the Optaric industrial smart glasses design and gave visitors an early look through our waveguide evaluation kits, a taste of the experience we’re building towards.
Since then, the momentum has continued.
 
We were delighted to be invited to the EPRI Summer Seminar, where Optaric’s Dr. Chris Parkinson took to the stage to discuss real-world deployments, AI use cases and the role smart glasses can play in the future of frontline work.
Behind the scenes, perhaps the most important work has been happening with customers and partners.
 
Our Early Innovator Program (EIP) is underway. We’re working with early-stage customers, we’ve taken our first orders, and the feedback from those engagements is already helping shape the product.
 
We’ve also made further design refinements around wearability and aesthetics, and our first pre-production prototype units are expected in early October.
That will kick off another busy period of customer meetings, events and roadshows ahead of our next batch of units becoming available in December.
 
And now we’re getting ready for the next piece of the Optaric journey: the channel.
We’ve seen fantastic early interest from end users, partners and distributors, and we’re now preparing to formally onboard our first channel partners and support their customer engagements.
 
Watch this space, there is plenty more to come.
 
And in the meantime, take a look at the refreshed Optaric website and let us know what you think.
