In the dynamic world of immersive technology, the demand is clear: XR experiences need to be more accessible, flexible, and easier to deploy. Enter Hololight Stream Runtime, in combination with Autodesk VRED – a groundbreaking duo that redefines powerful 3D visualization across various devices.

Whether you’re validating complex design data or collaborating on product variants, XR has become an essential part of the design workflow. However, performance limitations, fragmented device ecosystems, and security concerns have previously hindered many teams from scaling immersive experiences. The synergy between Hololight and Autodesk VRED is changing that.

Pixel Streaming, Without the Pain

Hololight Stream Runtime is designed to work seamlessly with Autodesk VRED, allowing users to experience any OpenXR-supported application directly on their XR devices. Installation is straightforward: once Hololight Stream Runtime is set up on a PC or workstation, users simply click the stream button within Autodesk VRED and connect their headset via the Hololight Stream Client. That’s it – no complex builds or custom integrations – just immersive design, accessible with a single click.

Device Agnostic, Performance Focused

Unlike traditional XR setups tied to specific hardware, the combined solution from Hololight and Autodesk VRED allows you to stream experiences to a wide range of devices, including HoloLens 2, Meta Quest, HTC VIVE, PICO, and even the Apple Vision Pro. Rendering is offloaded to external servers or the cloud, ensuring high-fidelity visuals with no compromise on performance or security. This flexibility ensures that users can access top-tier immersive experiences regardless of their XR device.

Security Where it Matters

In enterprise settings, data security is paramount. With Hololight Stream Runtime, working alongside Autodesk VRED, sensitive 3D files remain securely within the data center, with no local storage or processing on the headset. This makes the combined solution an ideal choice for industries like automotive and aerospace, where IP protection is critical.

A Better Way to Design in XR

By eliminating technical barriers to immersive visualization, the partnership between Hololight Stream Runtime and Autodesk VRED allows teams to focus on what truly matters: creating, reviewing, and collaborating in 3D. With a streaming solution that works effortlessly and compatibility that seamlessly integrates with a variety of XR devices, Hololight and Autodesk are setting a new standard for XR usability within design workflows.
