Business value

Azure Remote Rendering removes authoring effort by making it easy to bring any 3D model, basic or complex, into a guide. This feature uses the computing power of Azure to render models in the cloud and then streams video to the device, enabling operators to interact and collaborate with 3D content.

Feature details

Azure Remote Rendering is now supported in Guides, enabling you to show and use high-quality models that would otherwise exceed the capabilities of the HoloLens 2 device. With an Azure Remote Rendering subscription, the rendering workload for complex models is offloaded to high-end GPUs in the cloud so that operators and author can incorporate highly detailed models without compromising on app performance.
