realwear Development Program Software
Overview
The RealWear Development Program (“RDP”) provides application developers the
tools and support needed to deliver innovative solutions end users desire on
RealWear’s industry-leading, hands-free devices for the industrial worker.
The RealWear developer community is a diverse set of companies. Some design
applications to meet a specific use case for exclusive deployment. Others
deliver a suite of solutions across a wide array of devices, platforms,
industries and customers.
While yet others support the needs of an individual organization. Each
developer is unique. The RDP offers the flexibility to match the best
resources to meet their particular needs and fuel success.
There are two levels of developer membership:
- Independent Software Vendor (“ISV”). Intended for those developers who desire a higher-level partnership with RealWear, the ISV track provides access to technical support, marketing support and enhanced communication.
- Registered Developer. For self-sufficient developers, this option provides basic documentation, tools, code samples, and communication. This is an ideal option for companies who need no marketing, sales or technical help.
Note: Developers who wish to sell RealWear devices must also join the RealWear Partner Program (“RPP”).

Technical Capability
The RDP supports technically competent development teams in pursuit of launching one or more applications on RealWear devices. To this end, applicants should have demonstrated ability to develop a working application on hands-dependent Android devices, preferably the one planned for deployment on RealWear devices.
| |
Developer Agreement
The RealWear Developer Agreement (“RDA”) must be approved in its entirety. Generally, the RDA is acknowledged and accepted during the online application process.
| |
Enrichment Investment
For all developers—new and existing—without applications already optimized for RealWear devices and available on RealWear Foresight, an enrichment investment is required. They may choose from:
· Sending a single participant through RealWear Developer Academy.
· Purchasing two RealWear NavigatorTM 500 devices.
| |
Development Device Purchase
ISVs must have a RealWear Navigator 500 device available to aid them in their development. This device may be purchased as part of the Enrichment Investment outlined above.
| |
Application Quality Standards
ISVs are expected to ensure their application(s) function properly with each firmware release. RealWear provides early firmware access and documentation to enable application updates. Following each firmware release, all developers must certify that their application(s) comply within four (4) weeks. Failure to certify and/or consistent customer quality complaints may result in application removal and membership termination.

· Assessments & Validation. Prior to publication, the RealWear team reviews the ISVs app for readiness and assigns it a RealWear UX Score.
· User Experience Library. Code shortcuts to streamline development and deliver the RealWear user experience customers expect.

Maintaining RDP Status
All developers must remain in compliance with their respective Developer Requirements found in this Development Program and Policy Guide and the RDA to be eligible for membership in the RDP. RealWear provides a grace period of sixty (60) calendar days in which the developer must successfully cure any breach of the Developer Requirements. If the developer fails to meet minimum Developer Requirements in this timeframe, RealWear may reclassify a developer’s application or terminate the developer’s membership.
The terms and conditions of this Development Program and Policy Guide are subject to change. RealWear will provide thirty (30) days of email notification to developers regarding material RDP or policy changes and any changes to fees.
The terms of this Development Program and Policy Guide are subject to the terms of the RDA between RealWear and Developer. RealWear reserves the right to terminate a partner’s membership in the RDP, per the terms of the RDA and this Development Program and Policy Guide, at any time and for any reason. RealWear reserves the right to modify this program at any time without notice.
