The challenge: interactive demo (2 min)

Your challenges

Is your HoloLens 2 solution being discontinued? Keep your headsets, just change the software.

Is your Dynamics 365 Guides, Spectral TMS, Synergiz Harbor or other HoloLens 2 solution reaching end of life?

Install #AugmentedTraining on your HoloLens 2: your hardware stays in use and your investment is preserved. We can help you migrate your tutorials from your old solution to #AugmentedTraining.

We support HoloLens 2 until at least the end of 2030.

And when you change hardware, your tutorials will run on the glasses and headsets we have selected, several of which are already compatible: Arvicom CART-S, Samsung Galaxy XR, VITURE Luma Ultra XR, XREAL Aura, VIVE Eagle and, soon, Arvicom CART-3D.

Request a demoTake the challenge (2 min)
An experienced technician wearing a mixed-reality headset works on an electrical cabinet; beside him, a young technician follows the task wearing augmented-reality glasses.

Were you using Spectral TMS, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Guides or Synergiz Harbor?

Discover #AugmentedTraining: the solution that lets you go further and keep using your HoloLens 2, offline, until the end of their life. After that, your tutorials can be reused, without being redone, on the headsets and glasses we support.

Prepare the transitionCompatible devices

The situation

A device at end of life, procedures to save.

Guides and Remote Assist are being discontinued

Microsoft is discontinuing Dynamics 365 Guides and Remote Assist on 31 December 20261.

HoloLens 2 is no longer manufactured

Its security updates continue until December 2027 for connected devices23. At SHIFT89, we support it until at least the end of 2030: you have time to prepare what comes next. #AugmentedTraining needs no connection to work, so your HoloLens 2 headsets can be disconnected from Wi-Fi for maximum security.

Solutions tied to a single device

Spectral View, the Spectral TMS viewing application, is designed for HoloLens 24, like many industrial augmented-reality solutions: when the device stops, the training stops with it.

Years of procedures

The know-how built into your procedures must not be lost: you need to take it over without starting from scratch.

What SHIFT89 changes

Your headsets keep working, your procedures carry over, your experts take back control.

  • 100% offline

    No cloud, no Microsoft subscription: your procedures stay on your devices, under your sole control.

    Learn more

  • A few minutes

    Your experts rework each procedure on the real equipment, in a few minutes, adding their hands-on skill and the points to watch.

  • The right device, today and tomorrow

    Your HoloLens 2 today; tomorrow, Arvicom CART-S, Samsung Galaxy XR, VITURE Luma Ultra XR, XREAL Aura, VIVE Eagle and, soon, Arvicom CART-3D: the same tutorial, on the device that suits each workstation.

  • On the real equipment

    The instruction appears where action is needed, on the machine itself. Eyes never leave the workstation.

Our approach

First, understand how a hands-on skill is learnt. Only then, the tool.

Before designing our tool, we studied how people learn to do with their hands what they cannot yet do.

  1. A learning method from our research work

    With research laboratories, we studied how people learn a task they don’t know how to do, in a constrained environment. The aim is not to make people act like robots: it is for everyone to understand, remember and own the skill. This method is validated by 5 industrial PhD theses.

  2. A creation method within every expert’s reach

    The real challenge is creation: experts don’t have time, and not all of them are comfortable with digital tools. They create their own tutorials, very quickly, with the help of the built-in AI, and these tutorials apply the learning method without them needing to know it.

  3. The tool we wish we’d had

    As former industry professionals, we know every second counts: the expert’s time must be kept as short as possible. We also know the value of trade or defence secrets: everything works offline, without compromise, artificial intelligence included, right down to translating a tutorial in a few seconds.

The result: tutorials created in a few minutes, that really make people learn.

The method and its evidenceOur approach

At your site

You use…

Dynamics 365 Guides

Your HoloLens 2 headsets keep working after 31 December 2026, without a Microsoft subscription.

After Guides

Spectral TMS or Synergiz Harbor

Whatever your supplier’s situation, your procedures must not depend on it. They serve as a basis: your experts rework them on the equipment, in a few minutes, offline, on HoloLens 2 as well as on newer devices.

Prepare the transition

Another solution on HoloLens 2

Same approach: your headsets keep working, your experts rework your procedures, and the next step is prepared with the right hardware.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions.

Will our tutorials carry over to the new devices?

Any tutorial created with #AugmentedTraining on HoloLens 2 can be reused, without being redone, on the headsets and glasses we support: Arvicom CART-S, Samsung Galaxy XR, VITURE Luma Ultra XR, XREAL Aura, VIVE Eagle and, soon, Arvicom CART-3D.

Can we still use our HoloLens 2 headsets?

Yes. #AugmentedTraining runs on HoloLens 2, without a Microsoft subscription. Microsoft publishes security updates until December 2027 for connected devices, and we support HoloLens 2 until at least the end of 2030; after that, we advise you on the future of your fleet. #AugmentedTraining needs no connection to run: your HoloLens 2 headsets can therefore be disconnected from Wi-Fi, for maximum security.

Can we take over our existing procedures?

Yes, they serve as a basis: your experts rework them on the real equipment, in a few minutes each, adding their hands-on skill and the points to watch.

How long does the switch take?

One day of onboarding: your trainers create their first tutorial that same afternoon, then, from the next day, on their own, as often as is useful.
