Seeing is believing in Trimble XR10 with Microsoft HoloLens 2 technology

The mixed reality device is the first created with the Microsoft HoloLens Customization Program

The new Trimble XR10 with Microsoft HoloLens 2 technology is here, and it's everything tech savvy contractors have been waiting for and more. It's hard hat compatible, of course, and is the first device created with the Microsoft Hololens Customization Program, integrating the latest spatial computing technology.

"Microsoft has provided both the vision and execution needed to stay at the forefront of the mixed-reality evolution," says Aviad Almagor, director of Trimble's Mixed-Reality Program. "We're excited to extend our collaboration with Microsoft in producing a safety-first mixed-reality solution that can be used in production environments such as construction, where workers are building, monitoring and inspecting products and services that deliver tangible value every day."

Updates include a wider field-of-view, improved usability and a unique, flip-up viewscreen. Not to mention even greater accessibility to 3D models by front-line workers. Additionally:

field-oriented workflows enable broad adoption of mixed-reality for jobsite activities to improve efficiency, productivity and quality of work
and Trimble Connect for HoloLens enables workers in the field to get more value from constructible 3D models and transform daily work such as assembly and inspections.

"The ability to access and interact with holographic content has inspired new visualization, collaboration, and production workflows in enterprise markets," says Alex Kipman, technical fellow, AI and Mixed Reality at Microsoft. "For people that spend their days on the work site, the Trimble XR10 with HoloLens 2 and Trimble's portfolio of software unlocks the power of mixed-reality to help them get more work done."
