The Trimble XR10 with HoloLens 2 is Trimble’s new wearable mixed-reality device that allows workers in safety controlled environments to access holographic information on the jobsite.

The hard hat compatible device is the first to be created with the Microsoft HoloLens Customization Program. It integrates the latest spatial computing technology, a wider field-of-view, improved usability, and a flip-up viewscreen. Trimble also unveiled an expanded set of software and services and continued development for Trimble Connect for HoloLens, a cloud-based collaboration platform, for use with the XR10.
