Vuzix Control and Connect
Final Quote

- The amended power bank (lightweight) Coleg Gwent requested
- Delivery charge
Competitor Comparison
The below table gives Coleg Gwent two options:-
- Of the two hardware solutions one has a cost advantage and a we believe a better set of features for Coleg Gwent's wide range of use cases.
The Long Term Partnership we would reward with enhanced savings so that Coleg Gwent save £1,803.30 and get a better set of capabilities in the device to aid adoption, practical use case fit and engagement.
Vuzix Control and Connect Advantages

However, If you test the detail here are the finer points that we believe make the Vuzix Control and Connect device a better option for Coleg Gwent.
17 Features that deliver enhanced Teaching or Practical benefits to the different college Use Case(s) like Veterinary or Construction.
Below is a side by side comparison of the Realware Device with Teams connectivity and the Vuzix Device with Control and Connect.
These 17 advantages we'd like to demonstrate to ensure Coleg Gwent extract the maximum value from their investment.
The Bundled offer means no software, same as the Realwear approach.
SimplyVideo Control and Connect will be shipped with hardware as per RealWear in a unique bundle for Coleg Gwent called Vuzix M400 Control and Connect. We find this approach gives academic teaching organisations excellent smart glasses with enhanced capabilities that suit the wide variety of College use cases that Coleg Gwent have.
