Japanese technology company HMS Co., Ltd. has launched the SiNGRAY G2 AR headset with frontline.io software pre-installed. The device targets industrial users who lost their AR platforms when Microsoft discontinued HoloLens 2 and Magic Leap shuttered its first-generation device. Manufacturing companies invested in AR training programs needed replacement hardware. HMS designed the SiNGRAY G2 specifically for these enterprise customers who require reliable AR solutions for daily operations. The headset launches with 1920×1080 Micro-OLED displays per eye, 90 Hz refresh rates, and a 47-degree diagonal field of view.

The timing matters because enterprise AR adoption has accelerated despite major platform discontinuations. Companies in aerospace, semiconductor, medical device manufacturing, and agricultural machinery sectors depend on AR for specialized knowledge transfer and training programs.
Why This Partnership Changes Enterprise AR Deployment
Frontline.io CEO Itzhak Pichadze addressed the market gap directly: “The disruptions that the discontinuation of HoloLens 2 and Magic Leap 1 caused showed us a significant opportunity to fill a much-needed gap in the industry.” The partnership eliminates complex software installation processes that typically delay AR deployments. Workers can use the headset immediately without IT department configuration or lengthy setup procedures. The pre-installed platform supports digital twin technology, allowing technicians to interact with virtual machinery models while maintaining visual contact with physical equipment.
Remote collaboration becomes possible through the system’s processing capabilities. Qualcomm’s QCS8550 chipset with integrated Intel Movidius AI processing handles complex 3D model rendering in real time. Field technicians receive guided instructions from remote experts while working on actual equipment. The system maintains low latency during these collaborative sessions, preventing the delays that disrupt workflow in industrial environments.
HMS brings two decades of AI visual recognition experience to this AR hardware platform. The company provides enterprise-level AR glasses, VSLAM modules, and cloud-edge deployment services through vertical integration. This approach allows HMS to optimize hardware and software performance for specific industrial applications rather than generic consumer use cases.
Design Details Reflect Industrial Work Requirements
The SiNGRAY G2 features a matte gray housing with red accent lines running along the device perimeter. Multiple cameras and sensors positioned across the front enable precise spatial tracking in manufacturing environments. The headset supports both 3DOF and 6DOF spatial tracking modes for different workplace applications.
HMS engineered the device for extended wear during work shifts. The adjustable head strap system distributes weight evenly to reduce fatigue. Workers can flip the display up when direct vision is required, then return to AR mode without removing the headset. The modular 4,800 mAh battery system allows continuous operation through battery swaps during shift changes. The front glass includes adjustable darkness levels for different lighting conditions, from standard office environments to brightly lit manufacturing floors.
Ventilation channels integrated into the housing prevent fogging during physical work. The device maintains performance in temperatures ranging from climate-controlled offices to heated industrial environments. Cable management systems keep power and data connections secure during movement around equipment and machinery.
When Companies Can Get Their Hands on the Hardware
Pre-orders begin for select enterprise customers in late 2025. Mass production starts in early 2026. HMS focuses on enterprise partnerships rather than consumer sales channels, so pricing and broader availability details remain undisclosed. Companies can access technical specifications and integration support through HMS’s enterprise sales team.
Early demonstrations run at the XR & Metaverse Fair Tokyo from July 2-4, 2025, at booth 20-67 in the West Exhibition hall. HMS and frontline.io will show the device’s capabilities for industrial applications during the event. The demonstration includes digital twin interactions and guided workflow examples that mirror real workplace scenarios.
Dr. Zhencheng Hu, President & CEO of HMS, explained the device’s positioning: “The SiNGRAY G2 represents a leap in AR hardware innovation to meet the evolving needs of our enterprise customers. Through this partnership, users can better navigate the ongoing shifts to remote work and globally integrated teams, and achieve device continuity.”
The collaboration addresses immediate needs in manufacturing, logistics, and field service sectors where AR deployment has stalled due to hardware platform discontinuations. Companies that invested in AR training and maintenance programs now have a path forward with reliable hardware designed specifically for industrial use cases.
