Wellness, relaxation, and meditation applications can leverage OVR’s specialized scent hardware to increase immersion dramatically.
OVR designed its solution for clinical environments to stimulate users’ memory, cognition, emotion, and behaviour when participating in immersive learning and wellness scenarios.
By partnering with ManageXR, OVR can streamline software deployments by enabling automated systems which sideload application updates and eliminates hands-on, manual installation procedures. According to the partners, this system also creates a frictionless user experience via a bespoke OVR-branded dashboard.
Initially, for an expert to update the OVR ION device, they had to plug each individual into a USB to download new firmware updates – a slow process for its users.
This end-user hurdle made OVR turn to ManageXR as an MDM partner. ManageXR’s cloud-based platform negated the manual sideloading process by remotely updating devices. The integrated cloud infrastructure stores new application versions ready for distribution.
The streamlined cloud-based management solution enables OVR clients to adopt an organization-wide VR infrastructure without technical restrictions"
