That “spring” launch window was vague, but Microsoft has indeed kept its promise. In a blog post, the company says the HoloLens 2 Industrial Edition is now available for full order by customers. Because the Industrial Edition meets industry standards, it can work in a range of work conditions. Importantly for industry, HoloLens 2 Industrial Edition is clean room capable and has ISO 14644-1 Class 5-8 rating. Furthermore, it is certified for Intrinsic safety (UL Class I, Division 2). According to the company, HoloLens 2 can bring the following benefits to industry customers:

Earlier this month, Microsoft revealed HoloLens 2 Industrial Edition has also been certified for use in restricted areas.

Furthermore, the company adds a Rapid Replacement Program to the warranty. That means customers can quickly replace faulty headsets with expediated shipping. Microsoft recently extended a controversial collaboration for the U.S. military to use HoloLens 2 Industrial Edition, totaling $21 billion over 10 years. HoloLens will be used to train soldiers and eventually lead to deaths. That training comes from HoloLens’ Visual Augmentation System (IVAS).
