With the rapid evolution of VR applications, XR developers and ISVs require a platform that streamlines the content deployment process. ManageXR offers a suite of tools tailored to meet the diverse needs of developers and clients alike. We are proudly customer-centric and product-led, so we solve real problems (which we detail below) that developers, ISVs, and end users face. Let’s delve into 10 reasons why ManageXR stands as the premier choice for XR, VR, and AR content deployment:
- Easy to Use & Built for Scale
Without a VR or AR deployment platform, people are manually updating devices, pushing content, connecting to wifi, and configuring settings. This is time consuming, prone to error, and not scalable.
Solution: Use configurations to bundle XR content, wifi networks, firmware, and system settings onto devices to make your deployments scalable. Use pre-loaded configurations or build your own. Apply configurations to groups of devices, so you can scale your deployments with ease.
- Built-in Content & Version Management
Applications are evolving quickly – some developers push out updates every week or even more frequently. Without a deployment platform, it is difficult to organize and keep track of versions.
Solution: ManageXR’s VR Content Library centralizes content and simplifies version control. From your Content Library, you can easily manage versions and deploy content.
- Efficient & Easy App Sharing
Clients need to be able to deploy applications they purchase at scale. Without a deployment platform, this requires a manual process – send the APK file to the customer, then the customer loads the content on to each device one by one. This process is time consuming and technical, and requires a lot of client work and poor client experience with your content process.
Solution: ManageXR’s Release Channels enable effortless app distribution to clients. Push new app versions to all or some of your customers in a couple clicks from one centralized place. Send clients a share code, and they can deploy the app to all their devices in a couple clicks.
- Fast & Controlled App Updates
VR application updates are often large files that cause unwanted disruption. Without efficient downloading, they can take a really long time – especially if you don’t have access to high speed internet. On top of that, unexpected updates or updates with bugs can be extremely disruptive and cause crashes or faulty device behavior.
Solution: ManageXR uses patched app updates which minimize the download size and speed up installations. App patches are typically less than half the size of an entire app, meaning updates are 2x to 10x faster. Plus, ManageXR makes it easy to rollback to the previous version of your app. So, if you push out a bug, you always have a back up plan.
- Share Applications on Your Terms
Developers often have contractual limitations when they offer their application to a client, such as, the client can only use it for a certain time frame or on a certain number of devices. It’s a trust system or the developer has to build licensing systems by themself, which is expensive.
Solution: ManageXR allows developers to set device and time limits, enforcing usage restrictions and subscription models effortlessly.
- Save Time & Streamline Processes with Developer Tools
Developers are often constantly deploying new versions of their content. This requires them to manually upload their new versions to their devices for testing and development.
Solution: Use the ManageXR CLI to auto-upload new app versions and deploy new app versions to clients automatically through your existing CI/CD pipeline.
- Grow your Audience with DiscoverXR

- Simplify & Customize the In-Headset Experience
Default home screens are difficult to navigate, contain advertisements, and access to the internet and stores. First time users spend excessive time struggling to get acclimated to VR and often dislike their experience.
Solution: ManageXR offers several tools to simplify the user experience, customize the Home Screen, and make people love to use XR.
- Flexible Content Management
Developers often deploy supporting files like Unity AssetBundles, mp4 video modules, and customizable JSONs alongside their apps. However, if you want to change or swap files, developers need to rebuild the entire APK.
Solution: Bundle files directly with your app versions. Deploy any combination of file types alongside applications. Easily swap the files without having to build a new version of your APK.
- Hands-on & Responsive Expert Support
Technical problems are costly, time-consuming, and lead to poor business outcomes and poor user experience. Every minute lost to troubleshooting or waiting for customer support, is a minute taken from employee training, student learning, and patient treatment.
Solution: Get support from a responsive, attentive, and effective customer support team. Our support experts not only solve your current problem quickly, but they also care deeply about making your entire deployment successful. Our support team takes pride in our 98% CSAT rating and median response time of 1 hour and 39 minutes in 2023.
Conclusion
XR, VR, and AR content management and distribution is at the heart of every deployment. VR content is what brings users and the business value.
