Welcome to ArborXR
We're excited you're getting started with ArborXR. Here we'll cover the basics and take you through getting:
Enrolling your first device, so you can remotely configure and monitor it through the ArborXR web portal.
Adding demo apps or uploading your content to your content library.
You can demo professional apps from trusted enterprise & education XR content developers for free.
Creating your first group and adding devices and content to the group.
Customizing your device’s home experience, so you can brand and lock down the headset experience for your users.
So if you have less than 20 minutes, and a device by your side, you'll soon be able to put it on and experience how ArborXR helps companies like yours.
Step 1: Enroll Your First Device
With ArborXR, enrolling your devices is made simple, and we have an onboarding guide that will take you through the whole process step-by-step. To get to it:
Login to ArborXR.
Navigate to Devices & Groups.
Click on the Add Your First Device button. You'll be guided through the rest of the enrollment process, which can vary depending on the device type (Quest, PICO, HTC).
Step 2: Add Content to the Content Library
Option 1: Free Demo Apps from ArborXR's Trusted Content Partners
ArborXR provides Demo Apps for a variety of device types. These are enterprise & education XR experiences created by trusted XR content developers, easily accessible through ArborXR for free.
Navigate to Explore XR in the side navigation menu.
Browse through our library of demo apps. Filter by platform (HTC Vive, Meta Quest, PICO) or by category. Click Add+ to add the demo apps to your content library.
Once added, will find demo app apps in the Demo Apps tab of the Content Library.
Option 2: Upload Your Own Content
If you have your own applications, videos, or webXR content:
Navigate to the Content Library.
Click Add Content in the top right hand corner.
Select Managed App to upload your own apk files.
Select Videos to upload your own video files.
Select WebXR Link to add a WebXR URL.
Step 3: Create a Group and Add Devices & Content
A group is a grouping of devices with shared content (including apps, files, videos, and WebXR links) and settings (such as ArborXR Home and Wi-Fi).
Navigate to Devices & Groups.
In the secondary side navigation menu, click on the + button next Groups.
Enter a name for your group then click Add Group.
Select Configure Group to begin adding devices and content to the group.
In the Devices tab, add devices to the group.
In the Content tab, add applications (including demo apps), videos, or webXR links to the group. Once added, content will remotely install on the devices in the group the next time they come online and connect to ArborXR.
Step 4: Customize Your Device's Home Experience
The last step before testing out your device is configuring the home experience. ArborXR gives you a variety of ways to lock down and customize what a user can do on your device, including creating a customized branded experience for your organization.
To start customizing your own home environment, in ArborXR:
Navigate to Devices & Groups in the side navigation.
Click into one of your groups.
Select the Kiosk Experience tab.
Underneath Headset Experience, select ArborXR Home.
Here, you can completely customize the home environment for users. We recommend using the ArborXR Lounge customized with your brand colors. To learn about the plethora of customization options and what they do, see Configure ArborXR Home.
Once configured, click Save to apply changes.
