Overview
ArborXR offers controls to manage Shared Mode settings on devices updated to Horizon OS v78 and higher. These settings for Shared Mode can be adjusted within the ArborXR Home, ArborXR Kiosk Mode, and In-House launcher Kiosk Experience configurations.
Term | Definition | Default Configuration in ArborXR |
Identity | In Shared Mode, "identity" refers to the requirement for users to log in with a managed Meta account. If you choose to require an account, anyone using the device will have to log in with a managed Meta account. | Disabled, meaning logging in with a managed Meta account is not required |
Required Password Complexity (i.e. Session Passcodes) | Determines the security requirements for users to resume an active session. When enabled, users must create and enter a passcode (Low, Medium, or High complexity) to gain access after the device has been idle or restarted. | By default, no passcode is required. For devices running v85 or later, this allows sessions to persist indefinitely, meaning users can resume their work after a break or a reboot without being asked to continue or end their session. |
Offline Mode | Users can start sessions without an internet connection. | Enabled |
Controller Free | Enable hand tracking on the device. Users will be guided through Meta's hand tracking tutorial at the start of each new session. | Disabled |
Stationary Boundary by Default | The guardian will default to a stationary boundary that persists across sessions. | Enabled |
Wake Controllers | Ask the user to confirm that controllers are connected. | Disabled |
Adjust Device Fit | Guide the user through fitting the device properly. | Disabled |
App Data Persistence | Persist app data between Shared Mode sessions. | Enabled on all apps installed via ArborXR by default |
