Extended Reality (XR)

Unlock new realities with secure, practical, and scalable XR

Thinking about using XR to spark some real innovation and transform how your teams work? Want to build more collaborative workplaces, or help sales with immersive customer experiences?

XR offers multi-dimensional experiences to interact with teammates, partners, and customers securely.

And while XR is more available and affordable than ever, you need to know how to secure XR devices and data, scale XR deployment, manage content, and seamlessly integrate these devices before you make the leap.

SHI helps you tap into what makes XR so powerful so you can better connect with your audience, accommodate shifting expectations, and meet increased demands for innovative, immersive, and interactive experiences — all without straining your resources.

What is XR technology?

Extended reality (XR) is a term for technologies that combine the physical and digital world. XR includes virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR).

Simplify your procurement and management experience.

When you create immersive content, you build richer experiences, deeper interactions, and stronger customer relationships. For your IT team, this means having reliable tools for content development that can tap into your existing assets and data. To fully realize your immersive experiences, you need industry-leading hardware and user-centric XR platforms.

We help you select the right technology required to make XR a secure, immersive reality for your use cases. When it’s time to deploy your solution, we simplify procurement and management processes throughout the entire lifecycle — from initial design to software licensing and ongoing device maintenance, and secure application development.
