Bundle and Bulk Deploy XR content with ManageXR Configurations

Simplify and Scale your VR Device Management

Managing thousands of VR devices, each with specific settings and varied content, is cumbersome. Whether your deployment is using VR and AR for education, enterprise training, or healthcare, you need features that simplify management at scale. You need an MDM that allows you to package content and settings together to deploy to your devices instantly.

At ManageXR, these are known as configurations, a core feature that enables you to bundle content, device settings, and security settings on our platform. After adding your devices to ManageXR, you will arrange the whole device experience via configurations. 

Creating a configuration is simple

Add a new configuration and customize the features that will be deployed to your devices. Deploy that configuration to a single device or groups of devices. Our customers often group devices based on location, business unit, or content type. VR deployments in schools typically group devices by classroom or subject material. With configurations, you can bundle and batch for an efficient VR deployment process built for scale.

1) Customize the device experience:

• Select a device experience, which can be the Custom Home Screen, Kiosk App, Kiosk Video, or the default device menu.
• Set your logo, background, and colors for the Home Screen and Kiosk Mode.

• You can enable or disable in-headset settings such as Wi-Fi, remote casting, Bluetooth, play boundaries, passthrough control, and more. 

2) Decide which VR Content to display on your device:

• Choose content from your VR Content Library, including any shared, managed, or external app, videos, WebXR Links, and files.
• Deploy Wi-Fi networks to your devices so they automatically connect when turned on

3) Control security settings to unlock deeper control and ensure consistent device behavior

• Lock your devices onto a specific firmware version for total quality control (PICO and DPVR 2s only) or determine when your devices can update to avoid disrupting your program (for Meta only)
• Save enterprise-grade Wi-Fi credentials.
• Secure devices by disabling end-user factory reset
• Disable USB Debugging and USB File Transfer
• Turn on tutorial mode to guide first-time users through how to use VR.

Bulk Configuration actions to scale your deployment

You can create as many configurations as you want, building on existing ones through the “duplicate” action or building from scratch. When you need to change the configuration on some or all of your devices, apply a new configuration with bulk actions.

ManageXR also lets you install the Device Setup Tool and preload configurations onto new devices simultaneously. Preloading a configuration with the ManageXR Device Setup Tool accelerates the device provisioning process and reduces internet bandwidth requirements, making setting up many devices fast and efficient.

‍

ManageXR’s configuration-based management model is designed to help your deployment grow from one to thousands of devices. Starting with a handful of devices? We still recommend using configurations to reduce repetitive tasks and ensure your devices are adequately equipped.

Frequently Asked Questions about Configurations

1. What are configurations in ManageXR?

Configurations are ManageXR’s core feature for managing VR and AR devices at scale. A configuration lets you bundle all the essential elements of a device experience, including content, settings, and security policies, into one package. Once created, you can instantly deploy that configuration to any number of devices, ensuring consistent behavior and branding across your deployment.

2. How do configurations simplify large-scale VR management?

Without configurations, managing thousands of devices individually is manual, repetitive, and error-prone. ManageXR’s configuration-based model centralizes setup and updates, so when you modify content, security settings, or in-headset experiences in a configuration, those changes apply automatically to every assigned device. 

3. What can I include in a configuration?

Configurations give you full control over the device experience, content, and security settings. You can:

• Choose a Custom Home Screen, Kiosk App, or Kiosk Video experience.
• Customize branding (logo, colors, and background).
• Decide which apps, videos, and WebXR links users can access.
• Preload Wi-Fi networks and credentials.
• Manage firmware updates, disable USB debugging, and prevent factory resets.
• Enable features like Tutorial Mode for first-time users.

Everything your devices need can be packaged and deployed in one go.

4. Can configurations be deployed in bulk or duplicated?

Yes. You can easily duplicate existing configurations or create new ones for different groups. Our customers often maintain unique configurations for each classroom, department, or location they operate in. ManageXR also supports bulk configuration actions, allowing you to update multiple devices at once. 

5. Who should use configurations, and when should they start?

Configurations are ideal for anyone managing more than one XR device. Even small deployments benefit from using configurations early, as they eliminate repetitive setup tasks and create a scalable foundation for future growth.
