Learn more about XR Streaming for Enterprises

• Does Hololight support VR streaming?

  Yes. Hololight's XR streaming technology supports VR streaming as well as AR streaming. For both, rendering happens on powerful backend hardware, so the headsets receive high-quality visuals without local processing.

• Which XR streaming technology does Hololight use?

  Hololight has developed theri own XR streaming technology. It is a powerful pixel streaming solution for augmented and virtual reality apps, optimized for the usage in industrial and enterprise environments. XR Applications can be streamed via Wifi, 5G or Lifi networks.

• Why do I need to stream AR and VR applications?

  Streaming removes the need for data preparation, avoids performance bottlenecks on headsets, supports more complex models, and ensures no sensitive data is stored on the device.

  Typically, the performance of mobile AR/VR devices is limited, as is the size and complexity of industrial 3D content (e.g. machines, cars, airplanes). To allow users to see all the details of their 3D objects and avoid time-consuming data preparation, lower level of detail (LoD) or polygon reduction, Hololight provides unique integrated streaming technology. This way, XR applications run on more powerful local servers or in the cloud and pixelstream content in real time to the XR device. Because the data is stored on IT-managed servers, sensitive data stays protected, increasing data security.

  AR/VR Streaming is also essential for future-proofing your enterprise XR strategy, because it decouples your applications from specific headset hardware. As new devices enter the market or existing ones reach end of life, your XR workflows continue to run unchanged on powerful backend systems.

• How secure is XR streaming for enterprise use?

  XR streaming keeps applications and data on your IT infrastructure, while only the rendered images are streamed to the AR/VR headset. This means sensitive data is not stored or processed on the end device itself.

  This architecture is well suited for enterprise and industrial environments and can also be applied in highly regulated or sensitive contexts, such as the defense sector, where strict security requirements apply.

• How do I use Hololight's XR Streaming technology in my company?

  Hololight Stream can be used in two ways:

  Developers integrate the Hololight Stream SDK to make an AR or VR application streamable. The Hololight Stream SDK is free to explore with full functionality. To remove the watermark and use it commercially, reach out to our team.

  End users can install Hololight Stream Runtime once to stream compatible OpenXR applications – such as Autodesk VRED, KeyShot, blender and many more – to a wide range of AR and VR devices. You can download a free trial for Hololight Stream Runtime here.
