Introduction

ArborXR allows to manage XR devices - its usage, content deployment and user experience - remotely while keeping everything organised. 

Support

You need to be invited by SOSXR to manage devices on ArborXR for your use-cases. Once you create an account with the invite, you are set !

SOSXR offers full support and recommends using ArborXR along with our XR headsets. Please contact sosxr@fsw.leidenuniv.nl if you can't find answers to your questions here.

Tips & Tricks

Viewing and Adding Devices

A group will already be created for you on the platform when you receive an invite. In this tutorial, lets call the group "ArborXR_Tutorial_Q3".

Content Deployment

Adding 360-videos

First step is to add the "SampleVideo.mp4" to the Content Library, before adding it to your group.

Step 1: Add your video to Content Library

Step 2: Add the video to your group

Adding custom created applications

Do you want to manually install an application that was created by you or someone else? Keep your .apk file ready and follow the videos below.

Step 1: Add your managed application to Content Library

Step 2: Add the managed application from Content Library to your group 

Uploading new version of an existing managed application

Remember to change the version number and bundle code before exporting the new .apk file, otherwise ArborXR will throw an error. For example, in Unity, you can find these options under Project Settings > Player. 

Adding applications from external platforms

Do you want to use a free/paid application published on a platform (Eg: Meta App Store) for education or research purposes?

After manual installation, keep the package name ready from this list or by following this guide. 

Removing videos/application from a group

To delete your content from ArborXR itself, please email us at sosxr@fsw.leidenuniv.nl.

Configuring User-Experience

Setting up an application/video

Choose your application or video, for example, Content Library > Apps > Managed > Sample Application. 

Changing headset experience

Do you want to alter what your users initially view in the headset?

Show Shortcuts allows you to configure what options are required in the ArborXR interface. 

The Admin PIN allows the researcher to lock the users from navigating outside the ArborXR. In our experience, admin pin wasn't required in 99.9% cases.

Background allows you to use ArborXR Lounge or 360-image background, and banner logo.

Colours option can be used to set the colour of the ArborXR Home.

Launcher Menu helps you to set the language and title of ArborXR Home.
