Read More Can the Lumia 830 Windows Phone really take on the iPhone? Microsoft says that its just-announced Lumia 830 Windows Phone will eat into the market share of both the iPhone and Samsung devices.

It looks to be a solid device at a surprisingly reasonable price, at least compared to the iPhone and Samsung Galaxy S5. It's got a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400, 1GB of RAM, and 16GB of storage. The display is a 5-incher with 1280 x 720 resolution, which isn't particularly outstanding, especially compared to the Lumia 930's 1080p display.

Pricing hasn't been announced for the new apps, which are called SAP AR Warehouse Picker and SAP AR Service Technician. They will be sold generally in the Google Play store. SAP released two separate videos showing how the apps can be used with Vuzix smart glasses to fulfill orders in a warehouse or to assist a field service technician making a repair call in a complex setting. In the second video, a repairman uses his smart glasses to locate a switching room in the basement of a sports stadium by using audible commands and navigation arrows that appear on the lens of the smart glasses (See video).
