Promises a "powerful and intuitive way to engage the M100 smart glasses."
Vuzix announced today that its M100 smart glases, demoed yesterday on our #CESlive stage, will now include Nuance voice technology. As Simon and John P. saw firsthand, the M100 is being updated everyday with consumer-oriented functionalities that are slowly bridging the gap with Google Glass and other consumer-oriented competitors. The addition of Nuance brings with it a more intuitive way to operate and command the Android-based M100, and the technology will be available beginning with the release of the M100 OS 2.0 update.
Check out our #CESlive interview with Dan Cui, VP of business development at Vusix, for a look at everything the M100 can do, and stay tuned to our #CESlive hub for all things CES related. Vuzix' formal announcement can be found after the break.

Review: Outriders on PS5 is a fun game saddled with a forgettable story
Outriders' gameplay is enjoyable and fast-paced, but it insists on tacking on a boring story, dull voice-acting, and a number of design flaws. It's a good looter shooter, but maybe not a great game in general.
