In a world where XR (extended reality), whether VR (virtual reality), AR (augmented reality) or MR (mixed reality), is taking an increasing place in professional uses, the question of equipment and content management is becoming central.

Whether for immersive training, HR onboarding, or sales demonstrations, XR headsets are increasingly used in businesses. Yet, few organizations anticipate the technical challenges associated with their large-scale deployment.

This is precisely where MDM (Mobile Device Management) comes in , an essential tool for efficiently managing a fleet of XR headsets.

MDM , or Mobile Device Management , is a software solution for remotely managing a fleet of mobile devices. In the case of the XR, this mainly concerns standalone headsets , the best-known manufacturers of which are Pico, HTC Vive and Meta with its Quest range. Thanks to an MDM, companies can configure, secure, monitor and keep all their headsets up to date from a centralized interface. This avoids time-consuming manual manipulations on each device, and ensures smooth and controlled deployment, even on a large scale.

One of the primary benefits of an MDM is the ability to deploy XR content (360 videos, applications) remotely. With just a few clicks, a VR experience can be made available to all headsets, wherever they are located. This greatly facilitates the management of immersive campaigns in a multi-site context, or even version updates without having to connect each device individually. The INVERSIVE platform, which centralizes and distributes multi-format immersive content, acts as an accelerator: XR content is deployed, updated, and launched without friction.

The second fundamental advantage concerns security. Since XR headsets are predominantly Android-based, they are exposed to the same risks as any unmanaged smartphone or tablet. An MDM allows you to lock access to settings, prevent the installation of third-party apps, or even activate a kiosk mode to keep the user in a controlled experience. In the event of loss or theft, it is even possible to locate a device, or even lock it or erase all its data remotely. This layer of security is essential when your immersive content has strategic value or when end users are not technically supported.

Another advantage of MDM is the standardization of configurations. All headsets can be configured according to a common policy: language, Wi-Fi connection, specific permissions, automatic launch of an application at startup, etc. This guarantees a consistent user experience, while reducing the number of errors or technical incidents. For IT teams or XR project managers, this is a considerable time saver.

Finally, an MDM provides complete visibility into your device fleet. You can track battery status, installed app versions, network connections, and usage time. This monitoring not only allows you to intervene quickly in the event of a problem, but also to analyze the actual usage of your immersive content to adjust your deployment strategies.

It’s important to note that an MDM doesn’t manage your content: it manages the devices. Unlike traditional approaches that require connecting multiple technical tools, INVERSIVE has opted for integration. The platform centralizes the distribution of immersive content (like a CMS) and the technical management of headsets (like an MDM) in a single interface. INVERSIVE thus positions itself as a relevant reference as a solution for virtual reality.

There’s no shortage of use cases. A company looking to train hundreds of employees in VR, a school deploying immersive content in the classroom, a communications agency managing headsets for multiple clients… All of these stakeholders need centralized and secure control. MDM then becomes a key component to guarantee the scalability, security, and fluidity of their XR projects.

Without MDM, a large-scale XR project quickly becomes chaotic. And without an immersive CMS, content management quickly becomes a headache. That’s why INVERSIVE has designed a platform that combines the two. No more need to multiply service providers or manually connect different solutions: with INVERSIVE, you benefit from a secure, integrated, and scalable XR ecosystem, from content creation to secure deployment.

At INVERSIVE , we help you easily deploy your XR content at scale. Our platform integrates with one of the best MDM solutions on the market to offer you seamless management of your XR headsets, from content creation to usage analysis.
