Microsoft HoloLens 2

The best feature-rich, mixed reality headset for Microsoft users

 

What we love:

 

  • Microsoft stack ready:  Through Microsoft Mesh, Dynamics Remote Assist and Dynamics Guides - experience a full suite of M365 tools in AR
  • Human-centric UI:  Worried about complicated controls? Don't be. The HoloLens 2 has some of our favourite gesture controls of any XR headset today

RealWear HMT-1

RealWear HMT-1

Designed for the modern frontline worker

 

What we love:

 

  • Built rugged:  The HMT-1 is fully operational from -20° C to +50° C, is resistant to water, dust and can withstand 2m drops onto concrete. Intrinsically safe models are available too - making this perfect for industrial workers
  • Fully voice controlled:  No fiddly controls - the HMT-1 can be operated entirely with voice commands. And 4 digital microphones keep voice recognition accurate even in 95dBA of typical industrial noise


Magic Leap 1

Magic Leap 1

The most graphically powerful full-mixed reality headset on the market in 2021

 

What we love:

 

  • Powerful specs:  With internals that include 8GB RAM, a Qualcomm 850 CPU and an Adreno 630 GPU, the Magic Leap 1 offers gaming-quality graphics and can run even the most demanding apps
  • Brilliant input controls:  The Magic Leap 1 comes with a physical controller, but works with hand tracking too so you can work however you're most comfortable.


Vuzix M400

Vuzix M400

Powerful internals, long battery life and a comfort-focused design make the M400 perfect for all-day work

 

What we love:

 

  • Built Lightweight for extra comfort:  At just 3.5oz, the M400 is lighter than a deck of cards. That keeps the headset comfortable for long sessions, and helps keep you focused on the task at hand
  • Hot-swappable batteries:  Long life, how swap batteries keep the Vuzix working as long as you need them - perfect for long days away from the desk
