“The combination of ThingWorx Studio and HoloLens opens up tremendous opportunity for industrial customers to create immersive ‘hands-free’ mixed reality experiences for a variety of business-critical use cases, including for sales and marketing, manufacturing, and service, as well as human resources and training,” said Terry Farrell, director of mixed reality marketing, Microsoft, speaking on the collaboration.
