Why Enterprise VR Runs on Hololight


Hololight is the only complete, independent enterprise XR streaming infrastructure on the market. That means proprietary pixel streaming technology plus a full enterprise management platform, deployable on-premise, in the cloud, or in air-gapped environments. No third-party engine. No hardware lock-in.

THE CHALLENGE
Enterprise VR Fails at Scale Without the Right Infrastructure

Most enterprise VR programs hit the same three walls. Standalone headsets cannot render large industrial models at the fidelity that defense, engineering, and design workflows require. Sensitive data (CAD assemblies, digital twins, classified schematics) cannot safely live on a shared mobile device. And pilots that work in a controlled lab fail when scaled to a real workforce across multiple sites and headset types.

These are not headset problems. They are infrastructure problems. Pixel streaming removes those walls by moving rendering off the device and keeping all data inside your own infrastructure. The headset becomes a display; the application, the data, and IT controls stay where they belong: on your servers. And because the headset is only a display, the same infrastructure serves both VR and AR, so the device you choose today never limits you tomorrow.

That is the architecture Hololight has been building since before the enterprise VR market was ready for it.

HOW IT WORKS 
How Pixel Streaming Makes Enterprise VR Work


Pixel streaming removes the compute and security limitations of standalone headsets with a three-step architecture. The application stays on your servers; only the visual output reaches the device.

1

Server_Icon

Your Application Runs on Your Infrastructure


The XR application executes and renders on a GPU server inside your own environment. All data stays on your servers. Nothing leaves your network boundary.


✓ Full-fidelity visualization of complex industrial data, with no device compute limitation.
2

Safe_Icon

Only Pixels Are Transmitted


The server renders the visual output and transmits only the resulting pixels to the headset over an encrypted connection. No 3D geometry, application data, or files of any kind cross the network.

✓ Your existing security posture is maintained across every endpoint.
3

Headset_Icon

The Headset Displays the Result


The headset decodes the pixel stream and displays the rendered image at full fidelity. When the session ends, nothing remains on the device.


✓ One application runs on any supported headset, with no device-specific rebuilds required.

See Enterprise VR Working With Your Own Data.


The limitations of standalone headsets become obvious the first time a team sees their actual industrial models running at full fidelity from their own infrastructure.

THE PROPRIETARY STACK
A Complete, Proprietary Stack. No Third-Party Engine in the Critical Path.



Most enterprise VR streaming solutions sit on top of a third-party streaming platform, primarily NVIDIA CloudXR. That dependency creates a structural limit. The core of your system is controlled by an outside vendor's technology and roadmap, not by you.

Hololight built its own stack, and every layer is proprietary.
No third-party streaming platform, no forced cloud dependency in the critical path. That independence is what makes the capabilities below possible.

Hololight Stream:
Pixel Streaming Technology


Hololight Stream is Hololight's proprietary pixel streaming layer. Any OpenXR-compatible application runs on a server inside your infrastructure, from Autodesk VRED and NVIDIA Omniverse to your own Unity or Unreal Engine builds. Server-side rendering is fully optimized to make use of your NVIDIA RTX GPUs. Only the resulting pixels are transmitted to the headset over an encrypted connection. No 3D geometry, application data, or files of any kind cross the network.

It is not built on NVIDIA CloudXR or any other third-party streaming engine. The streaming technology is developed entirely in-house, independent of any external vendor.

Hololight Hub:
Enterprise Management Platform


Hololight Hub is the enterprise operations layer built on top of Hololight Stream. From a single interface, IT administrators manage user access, application catalogs, device inventory, and active session monitoring. They also handle update distribution and operational reporting across all sites.

Hololight Hub deploys on your own infrastructure, in the cloud, or in a fully air-gapped environment where no internet connectivity is permitted. New headset models integrate without rebuilding applications. New users launch any application in the catalog with one click.

More about Hololight Hub

Hololight Stream SDK and Runtime:
How Applications Get Onto the Stack


Hololight Stream works two ways. Ready-made OpenXR applications stream through Hololight Stream Runtime, with no changes to the application itself. Teams building their own XR applications in Unity or Unreal Engine integrate Hololight Stream SDK into their project, which makes them streamable to all supported headsets without platform-specific builds. With the SDK, developers can also test on a headset straight from the engine editor, skipping separate test builds.

Together, Hololight Stream and Hololight Hub form the only complete, independent enterprise XR streaming infrastructure developed and owned by a single company. No other vendor provides both layers as a unified, integrated solution.

Native OpenXR Support

Hololight natively supports OpenXR, the industry-standard API for cross-platform XR development, across all major platforms. Any OpenXR-compatible application streams to any supported headset through Hololight without modification. No device-specific builds, no platform migration work.

Air-Gapped Deployment

Hololight Hub deploys in fully air-gapped environments: no internet connectivity required, no third-party server communication, no data leaving your network boundary. Air-gapping is a hard procurement requirement in defense and regulated industries, and Hololight supports it as a built-in capability of its architecture rather than a custom build.

Supported Devices

Hololight is device-agnostic by design. One application streams without modification to Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest, PICO 4 Ultra Enterprise, HTC Vive Focus, Snap Spectacles, and Microsoft HoloLens 2. When new headsets enter the market, your applications and workflows continue without rebuilding.

STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS

Partners That Extend the Platform Without Creating Dependency

 

Hololight's independence from any single hardware or software vendor is what makes its partnerships meaningful.
Because the streaming layer is proprietary, integration with any ecosystem is an addition, not a dependency.

Infrastructure and Hardware Partners

WHY HOLOLIGHT 
Five Reasons Enterprise VR Programs Choose Hololight.

1

The only complete independent infrastructure stack.

Hololight is the only company offering both a proprietary streaming technology and a full enterprise management platform as one integrated solution. Hololight Stream handles the rendering layer; Hololight Hub handles the operational layer. Together they form a managed IT system for enterprise VR, not a demo tool.

2

Your data never leaves your infrastructure.

The pixel streaming architecture keeps all application data, 3D files, and sensitive models server-side at all times. The headset receives only the rendered pixels. When the session ends, the device holds nothing. This maintains your existing data security posture rather than requiring you to build a new one around a shared mobile device.

3

Device-agnostic by design.

One application streams to any supported headset without modification or rebuilding, across both VR and AR devices. When new hardware enters the enterprise market, your existing workflows continue without disruption. Hololight supports Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest, PICO 4 Ultra Enterprise, HTC Vive, Snap Spectacles, and Microsoft HoloLens 2 from a single deployment.

4

Built for the hardest environments first.

Air-gapped deployment, full on-premise operation, and zero cloud dependency are built into the architecture. Defense and regulated organizations do not need to ask whether Hololight can meet their hard requirements. The platform was designed around them. Hololight's streaming technology is already part of defense work at Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, through an ongoing collaboration.

5

Proven in production, not pilots.

BMW, LNS Group, ENGIE Refrigeration, Felder Group, and Bilfinger are using Hololight in daily production use. Enterprise VR procurement requires an implementation track record. Hololight has one.
