Reality, Redesigned
For Enterprise Training.

Mixed reality (MR) blends the physical and digital worlds so that virtual objects appear to exist in and interact with real physical space. Unlike VR (fully virtual environment) or standard AR (digital overlay on real world), MR allows a user to see and manipulate virtual objects anchored to their actual surroundings — a virtual control panel mounted on a real surface, a 3D plant model placed on a real conference table, or a virtual colleague appearing to stand in the same room. Enterprise MR runs on devices like Microsoft HoloLens 2 and Meta Quest 3 in passthrough mode.

Key industrial applications include: remote expert assistance (a field technician in MR receives real-time annotations and 3D guidance from a remote expert who sees their live view), collaborative design and pre-commissioning reviews (multiple stakeholders see and interact with the same 3D plant model in real space), hybrid training (trainees interact with virtual equipment components in a real training room), and spatial planning (placing virtual machinery or infrastructure in a real space to verify fit and access before committing to physical installation).

Microsoft HoloLens 2 is the primary enterprise MR device for high-precision industrial applications — it offers accurate spatial mapping, wide field of view, and industrial certification. Magic Leap 2 is used where a wider field of view is prioritised. Meta Quest 3 supports passthrough MR at a lower price point, suitable for applications where full spatial precision is less critical. For most industrial deployments, device selection is driven by the specific use case, required field of view, and whether the environment requires certified intrinsically safe equipment.

Yes — this is one of the most commercially proven MR applications in industry. A field technician wears an MR headset; a remote expert sees a live feed of exactly what the technician sees and can annotate it in real time — drawing arrows, placing labels, and inserting 3D reference models directly into the technician's field of view. This removes the need for the expert to travel to remote or international sites. Organisations with high volumes of specialist maintenance on geographically dispersed assets see significant cost and time savings.

Multiple participants — in the same room or joining remotely — can view and interact with the same 3D model at full scale in real space. They can walk around it, highlight components, run simulations, take measurements, and make annotations that all participants see simultaneously. For pre-commissioning reviews, this allows design engineers, safety teams, and operations staff to identify access, maintenance, and safety issues in the virtual model before the physical plant is built — when changes cost engineering hours rather than steel and concrete.

Enterprise MR headsets are deployed in steel plants, oil refineries, and aircraft maintenance facilities globally. Key considerations are ambient lighting (strong direct sunlight can affect spatial tracking on some devices), PPE compatibility (we assess headset fit with required safety equipment for every deployment), connectivity requirements (we support local network operation without cloud dependency), and battery life for extended shifts. We conduct an environment suitability assessment as part of every scoping exercise before recommending specific hardware.
