Possible to get this working for upcoming Vuzix blade?

Supposed to ship 1500 developer units in May, 2018:

https://www.vuzix.com/Products/Blade-Enterprise

Prototypes were shown on Android 5.1, but the version of android at release is not yet known.

Having ARCore available for Vuzix Blade would be amazing.
At the moment Vuzix Blade only support api 22 (Lollipop).
At the moment the only possibility to implement AR Solutions would be to use Vuforia.

This would be a useful addition. I'd also like to get it working on Google Glass XE (API 19) for AR experiments. ARCore's official minimum API version is 24, so it is likely relying on multiple Nougat-introduced APIs by now. I haven't looked into ARCore's architecture recently, but it would be an interesting exploration.
