Q: I have developed a program that includes support for Vuzix products and features. How can Vuzix help me get the word out?
A: If you have a program with Vuzix support, we want to help you get the word out. The first step is to submit a Developer Program Request form, telling us about your product, including end-user licensing terms, how it is distributed, availability of a demo version and what and how Vuzix products are supported. Vuzix will post your program and links on our website and consider what additional means of co-marketing support might be appropriate. We are also open to direct discussions and an exchange of ideas – we want to help.
