Choosing the right system components for your project
Hololight Stream is able to support applications with a range of visual complexity and deliver compelling XR experiences to a wide-array of supported devices. On its own, Hololight Stream’s requirements are minimal but scale up depending on the demands of the application you want to integrate Hololight Stream into. This guide outlines considerations you should make when choosing to develop with Hololight Stream.

GPU recommendations
We test Hololight Stream on workstations using NVIDIA graphics cards. The following recommendations are the cards which deliver the performance needed to create enterprise-level XR experiences powered by Hololight Stream.
The suggested graphics cards vary depending on two factors. One is the target client devices that will connect to your application using Hololight Stream Client. The second is the level of complexity of the application you are developing.
Low, Medium, and High represent different levels of application complexity. These are affected by factors like the number of polygons, graphics effects, and logic in the application. If your application is lightweight, with low complexity models, you can expect graphics cards in the Low column to work well. On the other hand, very complex applications will require graphics cards in the High column.
