XR Streaming Technical Breakdown
Hololight Stream is an advanced XR streaming technology to offload rendering from XR devices to powerful external servers. By leveraging this technology, it enables high-fidelity, real-time visualization of complex 3D data without sacrificing performance or visual quality.
Images rendered by the engine (Unreal Engine, Unity 3D, NVIDIA Omniverse, Autodesk VRED, KeyShot) are pixel-streamed to the XR device. The pixels are encoded and encrypted before being transmitted over the network to the XR device. The device then decodes the pixels and displays the images in their original quality. These rendered images of your application can be streamed from a local PC, the cloud, or a local server, without being limited by the XR device.
Benefits of Hololight Stream
No Compromise on Data Security
3D applications remain untouched, as they never leave the data center or the cloud. There is no storage or processing of the data on the end device. Hololight Stream allows you to stream XR applications over networks you control, adding an extra layer of security . This is particularly important for industries dealing with highly sensitive data.

Device Agnostic Approach
Develop XR applications with a device-agnostic approach and benefit from fast and effortless deployment. Any XR device, supported by Hololight Stream, can be added seamlessly and used instantly.
Utilize External Hardware Power
Overcome XR device limitations and leverage the full power of servers or the cloud by utilizing external hardware. This enables high-end visual effects, such as ray tracing, on XR devices, without relying on their native processing power.
Accelerated XR Development
Test directly from the engine's editor by clicking the play-button and connect directly from the XR device—without the need for time-consuming test builds. This saves valuable time and resources, enabling the rapid development of even highly complex 3D applications.
