Stream_NVIDIA_visuals

High-end, ray-traced rendering.

Ray tracing, realistic lighting, reflections, and other demanding effects run on your external NVIDIA RTX hardware and stream in real time. With DirectX 12 support, photorealistic ray-traced scenes reach the headset exactly as intended, regardless of the device's own processing limits.

Stream_NVIDIA_Omniverse

Native NVIDIA Omniverse integration.

Hololight integrates directly with NVIDIA Omniverse. Using Hololight Hub together with Omniverse's OpenUSD data, teams stream complex models and digital twins to AR and VR devices in high fidelity, and Omniverse users can access and manage their USD files directly in the streaming workflow.

Stream_NVIDIA_Server

Runs on your existing NVIDIA infrastructure.

Hololight runs on NVIDIA workstations and servers and deploys on your own infrastructure, in the cloud, or in a fully air-gapped environment. If your organization already runs NVIDIA GPUs, you can point Hololight at that hardware directly, with no separate rendering stack to build.

Stream_NVIDIA_GPU

Validated across the NVIDIA RTX range.

Hololight is tested and validated on NVIDIA RTX GPUs across the professional range, from the NVIDIA RTX 2070 and Quadro RTX 4000 up to the RTX 5090 and RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell, matched to the target headset and application complexity.

NVIDIA Omniverse™ is a platform of APIs, SDKs, and services that enable developers to easily integrate Universal Scene Description (OpenUSD) and NVIDIA RTX™ rendering technologies into existing software tools and simulation workflows for building AI systems.

Hololight enables immersive XR experiences with NVIDIA Omniverse by bringing 3D scene data into AR and VR with high fidelity and real-time collaboration. Using Hololight Hub together with Omniverse’s OpenUSD-based data, teams can stream complex models and digital twins to XR devices without the limitations of headset compute, unlocking design reviews, visualization, and collaboration workflows at scale. This integration helps enterprises overcome performance bottlenecks and extend Omniverse content into immersive environments using Hololight’s XR streaming foundation.

FAQ

Learn more about XR Streaming for Enterprises

Does Hololight support VR streaming?
Which XR streaming technology does Hololight use?
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.
