An app for mixed reality headsets that recreates the machine and the steps of each procedure. To practise risky operations before doing them and to check them step by step during the repair.
Facing a critical, rare and risky repair: how do they prepare? With the manual, a video or what they remember?
A critical repair nobody has practised
It is rare and risky. Someone looks for the manual, calls the senior technician and, meanwhile, production is stopped. All the pressure falls on whoever does the repair. And training for it is slow: it needs the senior technician and a free machine.
Training XRPilot completed
When their turn comes, they have done it before
Practise risky operations
On the simulated machine, without stopping it and without risking anything.
Reference tool
During the repair, the next step appears in front of them, without letting go of the tool.
Simple, modular and scalable
Modular
It is updated without developing from scratch.
Grows with the workshop
Technicians add notes, photos and videos to each step from the headset, and they are kept for the next person.
Simple, comfortable interface
No controllers: step-by-step guidance.
How it is deployed
Headset + our app
No cables
No internet
No computer
Data never leaves the plant
For each new case we start from 3D models, images and videos of the equipment. We build the steps and the simulation with the client's expert technician and test it in their workshop with their technicians.
Scalable to other plants and sectors.

SVH works in mixed reality: operators see their real workshop and, on top of it, the simulated machine and the steps.
Other SVH modules
Prototype
Smart Recognition Assistant - ARI
Recognises parts and tools with the headset camera, to confirm the technician has the right one in front of them. Processed locally.
Immersive Space
Plant sensor data over the real environment.
Each deployment is adapted to the plant's equipment and procedures.
Frequently asked questions about SVH
What is SVH (Smart Visual Hybrid)?
An app by ForxaXR Lab for mixed reality headsets that recreates the machine and the steps of each procedure, so maintenance operators can practise risky operations and check them during the repair.
Why not a video or a manual?
With your hands busy inside a machine, the next step is right in front of you without letting go of the tool. And you practise on the simulated machine, without stopping it or risking anything.
How is a new procedure created?
We build it with the client's expert technician: we capture how they do it, build the steps and the simulation, and test it in their workshop.
How is it updated if the process changes?
Module by module, without rebuilding it. And technicians add photos, notes and videos to each step from the headset themselves.
Does it need internet or IT involvement?
Not to start with: it runs on the headset alone, without internet. The image never leaves the plant. Integration with other systems, if wanted, comes later.
Is it only for training?
No: it is for practising beforehand and for checking each step during the real repair.
Do operators accept it?
In the pilot, the workshop technicians used it without problems. You see the real environment, so there is hardly any motion sickness, and prescription glasses fit. Sessions are short.
Do you have a critical, infrequent repair?
Working pilot completed in a real workshop. We are looking for new plants to keep testing it.
We show you SVH working and look at whether your case fits.
