Vuzix works with a large number of software developers and academic institutions developing a
variety of AR applications. One of the services we provide to assist in these efforts is an SDK that
can be freely downloaded from our website and used without royalty for non-competing
products, for private or commercial use.

The Vuzix AR/VR SDK (Software Development Kit) is a set of development resources and
examples that demonstrate the application of native support for special features and capabilities
provided by certain models of Vuzix video eyewear. It is available for download from the Vuzix
website and can be used royalty-free in any non-competing application, including commercial
software.

The Vuzix AR/VR SDK demonstrates support for:

Product ID

The SDK demonstrates using "Product ID" to identify what products features and capabilities are
operational. Different Vuzix eyewear models may feature different stereoscopy, head tracking and
other technologies.

Head Tracking

The Wrap Tracker supports 3 degree (yaw, pitch and roll) of freedom for head tracking. RAW
