echo3D Integrates Hololight's XR Streaming Technology to Scale 3D Development
echo3D Success Story
Scalable 3D Development with XR Streaming
Leveraging Hololight's XR streaming technology, echo3D is improving the way developers create and deliver immersive 3D experiences for real-time applications.
echo3D: Scalable 3D Development with XR Streaming
Building AR and VR applications at scale means managing constant content updates, cross-platform compatibility, and the performance limits of mobile devices. echo3D, a cloud platform for 3D asset management, integrated Hololight's XR streaming SDK to address all three — delivering immersive experiences from the cloud without device-side constraints.
- Organization: echo3D
- Challenge: Delivering high-quality, scalable AR and VR experiences across platforms while keeping applications lightweight and easy to update.
- Solution: Hololight's XR streaming SDK integrated into echo3D's cloud platform, offloading rendering to external servers.
- Result: Development costs and deployment time reduced by over 90%; application size reduced by over 95%.
AR and VR experiences consistently show higher engagement and retention than static alternatives — a pattern echoed across industries, from Danfoss using AR to train customers on complex HVAC products to BASF replacing physical compliance training with AR-guided scenarios. Facilitating the development of these experiences at scale, however, remains a significant engineering challenge.
Solving the Scalability Challenge
Traditional 3D development faces scalability limitations because AR, VR and spatial computing applications are typically designed for interaction with static content. Updating 3D content across platforms is a cumbersome task that often requires adherence to platform-specific specifications. Onboarding customers becomes a struggle as each change to the application results in endless development cycles.
To address this, echo3D provides a cross-platform backend infrastructure and comprehensive 3D asset management tools that enable developers to overcome scalability issues and create compelling 3D experiences. The platform allows developers to easily manage, update and stream their 3D content for real-time 3D, AR and VR applications. By migrating 3D assets to the cloud, echo3D helps create lightweight and dynamic applications that can be updated remotely, saving time, money and effort.
The Importance of Quality and Smooth Throughput
One of echo3D’s biggest challenges is ensuring a reliable, high-quality experience for its users. “Augmented Reality on a device is only half of the equation. The way the user interacts with the technology is the most important,” says Alon Grinshpoon, CEO of echo3D.
“Typically, we try to find technology that supports our capabilities and functionality and also solves a problem. Since we support cloud-hosted 3D assets, we work backwards from there when building our prototypes and demos. Being able to integrate another piece of cutting-edge technology like the XR Streaming Hololight Stream to add an extra layer of functionality gives us a powerful punch to present to potential customers,”

Integrating XR Streaming by Hololight
Hololight Stream is a software component that enables high-quality, immersive AR and VR experiences by streaming applications from the cloud or local servers. By leveraging XR streaming and cloud technology, echo3D has been able to deliver smaller, faster, and more scalable projects that demonstrate the capabilities of cloud-based XR streaming.
“By harnessing the power of XR Streaming, we were able to provide a more immersive end-user experience for customers who needed AR training solutions. It's not just about reimagining what's possible – it's about making it a reality.”
- Alon Grinshpoon, CEO of echo3D
Hololight Stream has enabled echo3D to enhance its industrial training prototypes and use cases, providing seamless integration of CAD models into applications. This combination of technologies has allowed echo3D to offer a comprehensive solution that meets the high standards of both its customers and itself.
Results: Smaller, Faster, More Scalable
Using echo3D, developers can reduce development costs and deployment time by over 90%, while dramatically reducing the size of their applications by over 95%. With the integration of Hololight's XR streaming technology, echo3D continues to push the boundaries of what cloud-based 3D development can deliver. "We want our audience to quickly understand the power of XR cloud streaming and experience the benefits of smaller, faster and more scalable projects," concludes Alon Grinshpoon.
