November 20, 2024 – Hololight, a provider of XR streaming solutions that allow enterprises to visualize and work with industrial 3D data at scale, has this week announced a new strategic partnership with Arthur, a provider of immersive virtual collaboration technology.

According to the companies, the partnership aims to improve how businesses collaborate and train remotely, combining Hololight’s XR streaming platform with Arthur’s virtual collaboration solutions to deliver XR experiences for industrial and enterprise use cases.

Through the partnership, Arthur’s virtual collaboration platform is now available as a fully integrated solution within the Hololight Hub – Hololight’s industrial metaverse platform for hosting, managing, and streaming augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) applications to mobile devices.

“Our collaboration with Arthur represents the next frontier in spatial computing and virtual collaboration,” said Florian Haspinger, CEO of Hololight. “By merging Arthur’s virtual meeting capabilities with the Hololight Hub, we’re giving companies the ability to collaborate in real time from anywhere, enabling more efficient decision-making, training, and innovation. This partnership is about delivering the most scalable, impactful XR solutions that drive measurable business results.”

Hololight stated that this integration will allow users to easily access Arthur’s collaboration tools through Hololight’s XR streaming infrastructure, enabling distributed teams to work, train, and interact in immersive, virtual environments from any location. Key applications of Arthur’s technology include remote team collaboration, virtual meetings, training sessions, and real-time problem-solving in sectors such as engineering, manufacturing, and education.

Arthur’s platform transforms traditional remote meetings by enabling teams to work together in a virtual space that mimics the in-person experience. Through VR headsets or other compatible devices, users can interact in real time with 3D models, collaborate on complex projects, and streamline decision-making processes. The device-agnostic platform also seamlessly integrates with existing enterprise systems, ensuring flexibility and ease of use across multiple sectors, according to the company.

According to Arthur, its platform has already demonstrated ROI for global enterprises such as PwC, the United Nations, and Western Digital, where teams have reduced travel expenses, accelerated decision-making, and enhanced productivity by utilizing immersive virtual environments.

By integrating Arthur’s solutions with Hololight’s XR streaming platform, the partnership will aim to extend these benefits further via improved performance, offering enterprises a scalable collaboration platform that helps to enhance the way teams across a variety of industries work, train, and innovate, regardless of where team members are located.

Christoph Fleischmann, CEO of Arthur, added: “The future of work and collaboration is virtual.
