Augmate

Augmate is a wearable technology company founded by Pete Wassell in July 2013.[1] The company develops applications for the workplace, connecting enterprise databases to wearable devices that include Glass, Vuzix M100, Epson Moverio, Kopin Golden-i[2] or Optinvent ORA-S.

Augmate's SDK allows for the creation of applications that display data from external devices onto smart glasses, such as its Retail Planogram App, Warehousing and Logistics Pick and Pack App, and Field Operations Remote Inspections App.[3] Its Insights Platform visualizes the data sent to and collected via smart glasses to extract actionable information for workers and managers.[4]

Augmate provides developer tools through a device-agnostic software development kit and a data visualization platform. [5] [6]

The company is based in New York City.[7]
