Augmate Corporation, headquartered in New York, specializes in wearable technology and was established by Pete Wassell in July 2013. The company has transitioned into a device management platform with a focus on Internet of Things (IoT) technology. Originally, Augmate created enterprise solutions that linked corporate databases with wearable devices including Glass, Vuzix M100, Epson Moverio, Kopin Golden-i, and Optinvent ORA-S.
Their offerings include a software development kit for developers and a data visualization platform designed to be device-agnostic, allowing compatibility and functionality across various supported hardware.
