Today Hevolus is one of the first Italian companies to achieve Microsoft accreditation for Mixed Reality. “We’re delighted to add Hevolus as a Mixed Reality Partner. Since formally shipping Microsoft HoloLens into Italy earlier this year, we have seen significant enterprise demand for the types of transformative solutions that is only now possible. Given the pace of technology change, it’s more important than ever that enterprises can turn to partners like Hevolus, who have the ability to understand the potential and also the ability to deliver comprehensive solutions that leverage the most advanced cloud and mixed reality technologies that are available in market today” says Leila Martine, Product Marketing Director of Microsoft.

In the meantime, Hevolus is developing mixed reality pilot projects for important brands in the furniture industry, such as Natuzzi, Veneta Cucine, Gessi and Maronese ACF, with the last one already fully operational and receiving very positive feedback. “As new technologies are radically changing the world of business on a global scale, Mixed Reality represents an incredible opportunity for companies to transform the ways in which they work and operate.

HoloWarehouse is an innovative Mixed Reality holoapp created and developed by Hevolus for Würth, a world leader in the distribution of products and systems for fastening and assembling.

"We are proud to be Microsoft international partners for Mixed Reality solutions. Quoting Marcel Proust, for us, the real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes. From this perspective and thanks to the perfect fusion between the physical world and digital content, HoloLens and holographic technology are an open door to the future” – concludes an enthusiastic Antonella La Notte, CEO of Hevolus. #Hevolus#MixedReality#MicrosoftHololens#Technology#Innovation

In line with the spirit of the award, aimed at enhancing companies that in the era of digital transformation are able to trace new routes, the Würth Italia-Hevolus partnership stands out as an innovative excellence in the "tailor-made" furniture market.
