Microsoft HoloLens 2

Support for HoloLens 2, including security updates will end on December 31, 2027.

Microsoft HoloLens 2 smart glasses offer the most comfortable and immersive mixed reality experience currently available on the market. This cutting-edge product brings quality, innovation and results to your work. With HoloLens 2, you can touch, grip and move holograms in a natural way. They react very much like real objects. In addition, HoloLens 2 also features speech recognition so you can control them hands-free when needed.

Visualize 3D data

A wide range of applications for 3D visualization, simulation, remote collaboration and employee training.

Increase quality and efficiency

Improve real-time collaboration between work teams to avoid errors and delays.

Give context to your vision

Give a real context to your designs and empower field workers to make more informed decisions.

Provide flexibility

Smart glasses support almost
all file types from 2D to 5D models.

HoloLens 2 Industrial Edition

Microsoft offers a variant of the HoloLens 2 Industrial Edition smart glasses that are designed to meet the challenges of industrial customers in clean room environments and help with operational safety in these environments. You won’t be able to differentiate them from the regular model by their appearance. However, they differ in their durability and specific certifications. The smart glasses have a two-year extended warranty and a quick replacement program.

ISO 14644-14 certified and ISO Class 5.0 labeled – supports regulated environments that have stringent requirements and meet particulate emission standards for clean rooms
Certified to UL Class I, Division 2

Solutions of Microsoft Hololens 2

Provide real-time remote support to professional staff.
Microsoft HoloLens 2 lets workers collaborate remotely in real time.
They can provide support to service or maintenance teams that benefit from information provided by expert sitting in office on the other side of the world.
Also use smart glasses during production audits, factory tours, equipment acceptance and installation.
Microsoft HoloLens 2 smart glasses allow you to display instructions right in front of your eyes, guiding the worker step-by-step through complex workflows or inspections.
This ensures that all activities are performed in the correct order, in the correct manner and to the required quality.
They also reduce the time needed to train new workers.
Work with 3D models created in CAD programs in the context of the real environment.
Place 3D objects in the real world, grasp and move them in a natural way.
Whether it’s product design, project engineering, production auditing, machine ergonomics and safety inspection, design flaw detection, production planning, prototyping, or employee training, Microsoft HoloLens 2 mixed reality offers an effective solution.
Handsfree inspection – hands free for work
Multiple product connectivity options – thermal camera, endoscope, HD flashlight
Can also be used with a tablet
