The device, a revamped version of the original Star 1200, includes 16:9 format WVGA displays and an upgraded 1080p detachable camera.
"Building on Vuzix's advances in both its optics and tracking technology, we have been able to deliver affordable AR-enabled see-through head mounted displays," said Vuzix CEO Paul J Travers.
"The Star 1200 XL's WFOV performance and upgraded camera enable more of the real world to be augmented, bringing a more encompassing AR experience.
"This new Star XL includes many advanced features that our customers have been asking for and we expect them to be used for a wide variety of applications."
Vuzix's latest hardware, which goes under the full name of Star 1200 XL Wide Field of View See-Through Augmented Reality Video Eyewear, has been touted as a competitor to the upcoming Google Glass, the search engine giant's own augmented reality specs.
Google Glass is expected to be released in early 2013, priced at $1,500 (£964).
