HOLOGATE is one of the world leaders in immersive location-based VR experiences, with a brand lineup that sets the global standard for immersive XR solutions. Alongside its operation of the world’s largest XR network in the entertainment sector , HOLOGATE runs the HGXR Enterprise division : an end-to-end VR training and simulation solution that improves expertise in the field.
“HGXR’s turnkey systems offer training across close-quarters battle, military training and police training, guaranteeing full flexibility in terms of space and usability via the latest XR technology and an extensive app library,” says Leif Petersen, CEO & Founder HOLOGATE. “Our clients and partners include the German Army, German Army University, Fraunhofer Institute, and many more.”
For HOLOGATE, VR’s ability to realistically simulate, visualize and train anything, anywhere, anytime, is a game-changer. “VR is the ideal solution for providing the most effective and efficient training possible,” continues Petersen. “Unlike traditional training methods, VR is very flexible and allows trainees to experience various scenarios in a safe, controlled setting. Any physical object can be reproduced in VR, and authentic equipment and weapon replicas can be seamlessly integrated for a realistic feel. This level of immersion helps trainees stay focused, leading to better material retention.”
A high level of immersion is critical if training is to be effective. The VIVE Focus 3 ensures trainees feel absorbed via realistic, engaging visuals. “HTC VIVE’s high-resolution headsets and high-quality VIVE Business Streaming solution, in combination with HOLOGATE’s hyper-realty technology, enhance the immersion dramatically,” says Petersen. “The ability to integrate authentic equipment further intensifies training. HTC VIVE’s precise Eye and Wrist Trackers and 6DOF object tracking fit the needs of our turnkey solutions and allow trainees to use real-world weapons, move, communicate and interact naturally and realistically in VR.”
experiences. Petersen says HOLOGATE found this in HTC. “In partnering with HTC, HOLOGATE receives the ultimate package of technology, trust, and collaboration,” he says. “We collaborate on firmware development and receive fast support and expert knowledge exchange. As a result, we can tailor HGXR to create the best possible VR training experiences for our clients.”

VR tailored to the needs of business
HOLOGATE opts for HTC’s VIVE Focus 3 due to the hardware’s business-first approach to VR. “We’ve seen several measurable benefits from using HTC VIVE technology in VR training,” says Petersen. “The technology is easy to use, comfortable and highly durable, making it ideal for immersive training. In addition, the high battery capacity is a clear plus for virtual training, as it makes it possible to perform long training sessions without recharging.”A high level of immersion is critical if training is to be effective.
