Compatible glasses and headsets
Which device for which workstation? The same tutorial on seven glasses and headsets.
Headset or lightweight glasses, consumer or industrial device: your tutorials do not depend on a device. We recommend the one that suits your site, your uses and your budget, and we deliver it configured and equipped, ready to work at your site.
Supported
Devices compatible with #AugmentedTraining.
Microsoft HoloLens 2
Standalone augmented-reality headset
Your headsets remain in use, with no Microsoft subscription. HoloLens 2 is no longer manufactured; Microsoft publishes its security updates until December 2027 for connected devices12.
At SHIFT89, we support HoloLens 2 until at least the end of 2030, so you can use your investment for longer. #AugmentedTraining needs no connection to work: your HoloLens 2 headsets can therefore be disconnected from Wi-Fi, for maximum security. Your tutorials can be used immediately on the other hardware we offer.

PC application

Turnkey
An off-the-shelf device is not enough. We deliver a solution that works at your site.
The headset or glasses are the centrepiece, but not the whole solution. We take the time needed to prepare them for your field conditions.
Configured for your use
Each device is prepared for your workstations and your rules before it reaches you.
Fitted with the right accessories
We fit it with the accessories required for the workstation, the protective equipment and the duration of use.
Adapted to your constraints
Workshop, isolated network, travel, budget: the solution is designed for your environment, not for a demonstration.
Support over time
Updates and support from the customer area, and our advice as your fleet evolves.
One software package, several devices
Your tutorials do not depend on a single device.
A tutorial created today on a HoloLens 2 can be followed tomorrow on lighter glasses or a more recent headset. Your fleet can evolve workstation by workstation, without recreating or repurchasing everything.
Keep what you have
Your HoloLens 2 headsets stay in use for as long as they serve you well.
Switch solutions without starting from scratchMix devices
A headset for one workstation, lightweight glasses for another: the same tutorial follows the learner.
Always offline
Whatever the device, nothing leaves your site: no cloud, no online account.
100% offlineOur hardware advice

Your constraints
Environment, protective equipment, network: we start from your field conditions.

Who creates, who learns, how many workstations: the right device for each use.
Your budget

Turnkey: we configure each device and fit it with the necessary accessories, so that it works in your environment and with your constraints. What we prepare
Frequently asked questions
Your questions about equipment.
Do you need to buy new equipment?
Not necessarily. Your HoloLens 2 headsets stay in use; we advise you to add to your fleet only where another device brings real added value.
Headset or glasses?
It depends on the workstation: duration of use, protective equipment, environment, need for autonomy. We start from your field conditions, not from the latest fashionable device.
Does a tutorial have to be remade for each device?
No: the same tutorial can be followed on each of the compatible devices.
