Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What file formats can be imported into Hololight Space?
You can import a wide variety of 3D file formats designed in tools such as Siemens NX, CATIA, Solidworks, Solidedge, AutoCAD, Inventor, PTC Creo, or exchange file formats, such as .jt, .fbx, .step, .usd, .glTF.
You can also visualize other file formats such as .mp4, .pdf, .jpg, .png.
How do I import 3D content into Hololight Space?
Users can import their 3D CAD models without any additional data preparation or polygon reduction. We offer several ways to import your 3D CAD model into Hololight Space, depending on your infrastructure.
- Save your 3D CAD files on your Windows PC
- Save your 3D CAD files to cloud storage
- Drag and drop your 3D CAD files from your Windows file explorer into Hololight Space
- Load your 3D CAD files using the file explorer in Hololight Space
- Load your 3D CAD files by using the NVIDIA Omniverse integration
How much work does it take to prepare my 3D CAD models for Hololight Space?
Hololight Space users don’t have to worry about polygon reduction of 3D CAD models. By streaming the application from external, more powerful servers with high-end GPUs, users can view and work with their 3D content in high quality.
Can I view my NVIDIA Omniverse files in augmented reality?
Yes, the Hololight Space application provides direct access to USD files within NVIDIA Omniverse (local/cloud). An NVIDIA Omniverse account is required.
Can I save my work in Hololight Space?
Yes. Hololight Space allows you to save your 3D CAD models incl. annotations, measurements and edits in a workspace and load them later. This allows you to prepare for meetings and continue your work on another day.
Why stream the Hololight Space application?
Typically, the performance of mobile XR 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 the application runs on more powerful local servers or in the cloud and stream the application content in real time to the XR device. Because the data is stored on IT-managed servers, sensitive data is much better protected, increasing data security.
Which XR streaming technology does Hololight use in Hololight Space?
Hololight Space uses our own XR streaming technology. Hololight Stream is a powerful pixel streaming solution for augmented and virtual reality apps, optimized for the usage in industrial and enterprise environments. XR Applications like Hololight Space can be streamed via Wifi, 5G or Lifi networks.
Can I choose which infrastructure/servers I can stream from?
Yes. Customers can choose the infrastructure they want to use, including gaming laptops, on-premises servers, public cloud, private cloud, 5G campus, or government cloud solutions.
Is Hololight Space a collaborative solution?
Yes, Hololight Space allows you to set up meetings, invite colleagues, and collaborate with others in the same room or across locations. Participants can join using any supported XR device. Please note that each participant must have a valid Hololight Space license.
Which AR/VR devices are supported?
Hololight Space officially supports Magic Leap 2, Meta Quest 3, Meta Quest 2, and Microsoft HoloLens 2. Users can also join a Hololight Space session with the Hololight Space Spectator, our companion application that supports Apple iPad Pro. Please note that we are constantly working to expand the device landscape. For an overview of the features of Hololight Space on different devices, please visit our knowledge base page.
What's the difference between using Hololight Space in augmented reality and virtual reality?
Hololight Space runs on both VR devices (Meta Quest 3) and AR devices (HoloLens 2, Magic Leap 2). The choice of hardware depends on the use case. Use cases that require the embedding of virtual objects in the real world require an industrial AR device or a VR device with camera pass-through functionality. If the overlay of the real environment is not important, a VR device can be a good choice.
How can I optimize my engineering processes with AR/VR?
With 10 years of experience in the XR enterprise market, our experts can help you identify potential applications for Hololight Space within your organization.
Industrial augmented reality and virtual reality can optimize your processes throughout the entire product lifecycle (PLM). We can help you accelerate design evaluations, reduce design errors, improve collaboration, reduce physical prototyping costs, and improve decision making.
Read in our case studies section how customers have accelerated design evaluations by 25%, reduced physical prototyping costs by 50%, minimized travel by 50%, and reduced design errors by 90%.
How can I visualize my digital twin in augmented reality?
Digital twins are complex and contain a lot of information. Streaming digital twin content in augmented and virtual reality allows you to visualize all details and work inside a full-scale representation of your factory, engine, machine, turbine, or cooling system.
Can I get a free trial version of Hololight Space?
Yes. We offer free trials of Hololight Space here. We encourage you to contact us so that we can guide and support you in the best way possible.
How do I purchase Hololight Space?
To use Hololight Space, customers need a valid license, a supported XR device and a choice of server infrastructure for deployment.
