Hololight Stream 1-Year Subscription
Hololight Stream is the XR streaming technology designed to offload rendering from Augmented and Virtual Reality (VR) headsets to powerful external servers.

With Hololight Stream you can leverage uncompromised visualization quality and eliminate device and data security constraints.

Hololight offers two ways to use Hololight Stream: As a developer, you can integrate the SDK to make your AR/VR app streamable. Or, if you’re an end user, you can install the Runtime to stream any OpenXR-supported app to a wide range of AR/VR devices.
