HP releases ExtendXR SaaS to VR headsets
By MYBRANDBOOK
HP has released software-as-a-service to manage the growing number of virtual reality headsets used in manufacturing, industrial design and medical training. The ExtendXR SaaS will help companies to configure the VR headsets before handing them to employees.
The company created the software in collaboration with AR and VR device management company ArborXR. ExtendXR will work exclusively with HTC's VIVE Focus 3 and Pico Interactive's G2 4K, the Neo 2 and the Neo 3 Pro.
Analyst Steve Brasen said that companies typically use existing unified endpoint management (UEM) products to keep track of their AR/VR headsets the same way they keep track of IoT devices, but IT admins can't patch the devices, send updates to them or provide the level of security that UEM provides to PCs, smartphones and tablets.
He further added that when a person puts on a VR headset, malicious actors can see the user's movements and figure out the PIN used by the gestures a person makes when typing it in virtually. They can also hack into the cameras on the device and glean potentially sensitive information about the room the device user is in.
ExtendXR's security includes single sign-on, location tracking and the ability to disable an option for debugging devices over USB, preventing people from exposing their devices to hackers by fixing the headsets without IT support.
The service costs $120 per device per year for the standard package and $156 per device per year for the premium, which includes single sign-on and more security features. The service is available now with some features, such as user authentication, coming later this year.
