Connectivity SDK

Use this library for connecting applications running on an Android smart phone and applications running on our line of Android enabled Vuzix smart glasses, including VUZIX M400™, VUZIX M4000™, VUZIX SHIELD™, VUZIX BLADE®, and VUZIX BLADE 2™.

As a developer, you can communicate between apps running on the your Vuzix device and apps running on a phone. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways. You can choose to manage your own communication protocols using wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth and Bluetooth Low Energy. You can also leverage this Connectivy SDK framework to communicate between apps using the same secure communication protocol used by the Vuzix Companion App.

Requirements

• Compatible Android smart phone
• Compatible Vuzix smart glasses
• Vuzix Companion App
