Who can use this feature?
👤 Organizations Owners, Admins, Group Admins, and custom roles with the "Configure Headset Experience (VR Device Models)" permission.
🚩 ArborXR Home is included with all plans. However, features like customizing the background environment, color theme, and configuring tags as filters are exclusive to the Essential, Classroom Pro, and Enterprise plans.
Step 1: Set the Kiosk Experience to ArborXR Home
ArborXR Home can be configured on both groups and on individual ungrouped devices:
Navigate to the group or individual ungrouped device in question.

In the Headset Experience section, select ArborXR Home.
Step 2: Configure Visible Content
Under Visible Content, check the checkboxes next to content (apps, unmanaged apps, videos, or webXR links) to make them appear in ArborXR Home.
💡 Content must be uploaded to your ArborXR Content Library and added to the group in question in order to appear in the Visible Apps section. See the following help articles for steps to upload content and add to groups:
If you use pre-installed or store downloaded apps and would like to display these apps in ArborXR Home, you will need to create Unmanaged Apps.
💡 If a group or individual ungrouped device has already been configured to ArborXR Home, any apps, videos, or webXR links added after the fact will automatically be selected as visible content that users will see in ArborXR Home.
Step 3: Configure Language and Menu Title
Under Launcher Menu:
Set the desired Language for ArborXR Home. Supported languages include Chinese (Traditional), Dutch, English, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazilian) and Spanish.

Upload a custom Menu Icon, which is shown in the top left hand corner of the ArborXR Home UI. By default, your organization icon is set as the Menu Icon but this can be overridden on a per group basis.
⚠️ Only available on the Enterprise plan: Display or hide ArborXR Branding. If displayed, the "powered by ArborXR" logo will appear in the bottom right hand corner of the ArborXR Home UI.

Under Background, configure the background environment for ArborXR Home.
Option 1: ArborXR Lounge (Default)
💡 ArborXR Lounge is a warm and welcoming 3D space and is the default environment for ArborXR Home.
Select ArborXR Lounge, if it is not already selected.

💡 Customize the ArborXR Home experience by using a custom 3D environment (.gtlf or .glb). This is in beta as we work towards fully productizing the feature.
🚩 Only available on the Essential and Enterprise Plans.
Navigate to the Files page and upload the 3D environment .gltf or .glb file. Specify
Android/obb/app.xrdm.launcheras the File Location. For more information about uploading files, see this article.

💡
Feel free to use ArborXR's 3D environment, ArborXR Lounge, as a template and customize it according to your needs. Download the template from GitHub.
Only install one .gltf or .glb file per group. If multiple .gltf or .glb files are assigned to the same group, the first file will be used as the custom environment.
Once the .gltf or .glb file has installed on devices in the group, it will automatically be used as the background environment in ArborXR Home and override the ArborXR Lounge environment.
Limitation: The ArborXR Home preview will not display the custom 3D environment.
Step 8: Customize the Colors of the ArborXR Home UI
Under Color Themes, customize the theme of ArborXR Home's UI with a template theme or with a custom theme by clicking Create New Theme.
