Notice Information

Notice Title

Eye tracking glasses (Immersive exploration 2)

Notice Description

The requirement is for one pair of eye tracking glasses. These will allow the Policy team to explore how eye tracking technology may help DVSA services in a variety of use cases. The market was researched and variety of products were compared but only 2 suppliers were capable of delivering against the requirement and the price point. DVSA purchased 1 of each set of glasses from each supplier because: * there are some differences which mean we could cover the wide variety of potential use cases we are trying to showcase in DVSA * different suppliers will potentially expose more feature and understanding for future requirements * different suppliers will help us to remain agnostic and open to other future suppliers should work become more formal The other pair of glasses were purchased from another supplier but the purchase was under PS10k, hence there is no details of that on the Contracts Finder.
