"The Vuzix VR Glasses that DJ uses in the Wall-e video are 920VR, which have been discontinued and can be foudn on eBay. The new version are the 1200VR."
I can't tell whether the 1200VR glasses are compatible from this comment. I also chased some instructions down a rabbit hole to find a list of compatible glasses but the information simply looped without conclusion.
The only relevant information is the head tracking (X, Y) without any further development you can control two servos.
There are cheaper versions to obtain head tracking. One cheap idea attaching an android phone (with gyro/acc) to a headphone, then broadcast the sensor data.
I'm joking but the information obtained is the same.
What kind of integration/interaction you have in mind ?
My carboard VR system cost $35 and slips over the phone. These are common now, and cheap. And probably the best. Wireless, hi res. They just need a strap.

I've contacted vuzix to see if they are still willing to support their newer products with ARC. I'll let you know if they decide to continue

did you took the Red or the Blue pill ?
This is my honest opinion, i got curious and i went to vuzix website, i spent some time (wasted) to try to find old iWear devices (920VR, 1200VR).
I could not find any information, then i tried to look for drivers, then for a support forum. I also checked the SDK.
Only smoke... SDK version is 3.6, but no iWearDrv.dll 32 bit version (needed for ARC).
So if you are a user looking for drivers, or support you are doomed. I can't trust their website, i would stay way.
I would remove ARC builtin support, and move the functionality to an external plugin to avoid inquiries.
ZXen,

I would love it if I could use a phone instead. For example, my iphone 6 has a screen resolution of 1334x750 which is really good.

Vuzix responded and are not willing to move forward.
