Welcome to ManageXR!
We're thrilled that you're starting your journey with ManageXR! In this article, we'll walk you through the essentials of using our platform.
By the end of the guide, you will know how to:
Install ManageXR on your VR headset
Add an app to your VR library
Customize the in-headset experience
1. Install ManageXR
Our guide explains how to use our Device Setup Tool to register your VR device with ManageXR. Here's what you'll need:
PC or MAC computer
Charged VR headset
A cable to connect your headset to your computer
After registering your device, you can unplug it from the computer and remotely manage it from the ManageXR console.
2. Add An App
When you registered your device, you assigned it to a configuration. A configuration is a bundle of ManageXR settings that define how your device should behave. It includes which apps to install, files to load, kiosk mode settings, etc. All devices with the same configuration will behave the same way.
Let’s add an app to your device's configuration! Instant Apps are free, demo-sized apps created by trusted content providers and are easily accessible through Discover XR.
Follow these steps to add an Instant App to your device's configuration:
Navigate to Discover XR.
Filter content according to content categories and/or device manufacturers.
Hover over Instant App and click the Add to Library button.
Navigate to Configurations.
Select your device's configuration.
Deploy the Instant App to your device's configuration.
Click Save Changes.
Now, this Instant App has been added to your device's configuration.
If you have your own VR content, learn how to upload it to your VR content library.
3. Customize Your Home Screen
When using VR headsets in a workplace or educational setting, it's essential to have a streamlined process for accessing apps. This can be done with several device experiences; for this guide, we'll focus on the ManageXR Home Screen.
The Home Screen is fully customizable, and the web editor is a one-to-one representation of what you’ll see in VR. You can add your brand logos to the Home Screen, select 360-degree background images from our curated options, or even upload your custom background images.
To learn how to do this, follow the steps below:
Navigate to Configurations.
Click on the Apps tab.
Deploy the Instant App to your device's configuration.
Press Save Changes.
The Device Experience tab is a one-to-one representation of what you'll see inside your headset. As you add more apps to your Configuration, they’ll appear here.
Devices must be powered on and connected to a network to sync the changes made to their configuration.
