Augmate is a wearable technology company founded by Pete Wassell in July 2013.[1] It has since become a device management platform, and launched as Augmate Connect for the Internet of Things (IoT) devices in 2017.[jargon][citation needed][clarification needed] Originally, the company developed 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 Insight Platform visualizes the data sent to and collected via devices in order to display information for workers and managers.[3][jargon]

Augmate provides developer tools through a software development kit and a data visualization platform. The platform is device-agnostic, meaning that it can handle a variety of devices by relying on universal properties shared by all devices.[4][5][jargon]

The company is based in New York City.[6]
