MARY, Fla., June 6, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- FARO® Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: FARO),
a global leader in 4D digital reality solutions, today announced
their strategic partnership with HOLOGATE's enterprise division
HGXR, developers of high-end extended reality (XR) solutions for
training and simulation.
For the first time, HGXR systems will
integrate state-of-the-art FARO digital scanning technology.
For the first time, HGXR systems will integrate state-of-the-art
FARO digital scanning technology. The integration will enable
anything from objects and infrastructure to real-life situations
and scenarios to be scanned and simulated in photo-real VR as
digital twins, offering customers enhanced training and greater
customization potential.
This partnership unites two technological leaders in their
field. For over 40 years FARO has pioneered bridging the digital
and physical worlds with best-in-market laser scanning technology
which digitally captures any situation or object using 3D point
clouds. Point clouds are essentially a huge collection of
individual data points plotted in 3D space from which HGXR creates
digital twins, virtual photo-real representations based on the
scanned physical environment.
HGXR offers full-service virtual reality training and simulation
solutions for enterprises and is a division of HOLOGATE, a global
media company, and market leader in turnkey extended reality
solutions for entertainment with more than 450 locations and 16
million users worldwide.
With digital twins HGXR systems users can visualize and simulate
any real object, environment or situation in the virtual space.
This is indispensable technology for organizations needing to
digitally capture a situation or critical infrastructure for any
time review, evaluation, and training — such as a crime scene
reconstruction, or security planning and process optimization on
the factory floor.
Leif Petersen, CEO and Founder of
HOLOGATE/HGXR, commented: "We are delighted to announce this
partnership with FARO which is an incredible enhancement to our
training and simulation offers. FARO's expertise in the digital
scanning and imaging field directly complements our virtual
solutions and enables us to further adapt our XR training and
simulation applications to meet our customers' needs. We are really
excited for our first collaboration!"
"We are pleased to be working with HGXR in a partnership that
capitalizes on the strengths of both organizations," said Christian
Schäfers, Regional Manager of Public Safety & Forensics at
FARO. "FARO's high-speed leading digital scanning technology,
coupled with HGXR's premium XR training, takes their training and
simulation solutions to the next level."
