Rise Vision vs Interactive Displays

Are you considering buying interactive classroom displays? 

We’ve heard from customers that most teachers only use 10% of the functionality—mainly screen sharing and connecting via HDMI.

From this feedback, we’ve created a budget-friendly alternative to interactive displays. We’re now offering high-quality non-interactive commercial displays, available in 43” to 98”, with wireless screen sharing, digital signage, and emergency alerts built-in—everything teachers need at a fraction of the cost.

It’s a flexible solution that boosts teacher adoption and student learning while saving your budget.

Upgrade Your Classroom Technology and Reduce Costs

Today’s classrooms don’t need expensive, laggy, feature-heavy interactive displays that most teachers underutilize. Instead, they need simple, reliable, and cost-effective solutions that make teaching easy. With Rise Vision, schools can deliver the essential tools that educators and students value without paying for rarely used bells and whistles.

Our platform prioritizes mobility and accessibility by combining wireless screen sharing from devices teachers and students already use. This approach frees teachers from standing at the front of the classroom, allowing them to circulate to support individual learners. Students stay engaged because their input and ideas can be shared seamlessly in real-time.

Our commercial displays provide a robust, clear visual experience that outperforms standard consumer TVs. They’re designed for educational environments. Paired with Rise Vision’s intuitive platform, you're investing in a scalable, cost-effective, and easy-to-maintain solution.
