What is VR headset management software, and where does OmnicastVR fit?

VR headset management software covers two jobs: administering a fleet of devices, which is what an MDM such as ArborXR or ManageXR does, and running live sessions. OmnicastVR does the second: from one Windows PC, a trainer sees up to 16 standalone headsets live, launches apps on all of them at once and shuts them down at the end, with or without internet.

Can one trainer run a VR session with 16 learners alone?

Yes. With OmnicastVR, one trainer supervises up to 16 headsets from a single PC: every view sits in one grid, any learner can be enlarged in one click, and apps start on the whole group or on one headset. Larger groups use one PC and one licence per 16 headsets.

Can I run a VR training session in a place with no internet access?

Yes. OmnicastVR streams the headsets and sends its commands over a local Wi-Fi network, so a portable router is enough on a client site, a trade-show floor or an industrial plant. Internet is only needed to activate the licence and download updates, with a reconnection at least every 30 days.

Do learners need an account, or anything installed on their headsets?

No. OmnicastVR runs on the trainer's Windows PC: learners log in nowhere and there is nothing to install on the headsets. Each headset is connected once with a USB-C cable, for 5 to 10 seconds, then reconnects automatically over Wi-Fi at every session. On Meta Quest, developer mode is enabled once beforehand.

Should I choose OmnicastVR or an MDM like ArborXR or ManageXR?

Choose by the job to be done. An MDM such as ArborXR or ManageXR enrols, locks and updates devices across sites; OmnicastVR runs the live session in the room. For groups of up to 16 headsets in one place, OmnicastVR alone is often enough. Larger fleets use both: the MDM for administration, OmnicastVR for the session.

Can OmnicastVR be used where cloud services are not allowed?

Yes. OmnicastVR is installed software, not an online service: headset images stay on your local network and are never sent to OmnicastVR's servers. This suits schools, hospitals and industrial sites whose IT or GDPR rules forbid cloud streaming. The licence still needs internet for activation and updates.

OmnicastVR is used by trainers and teachers who run VR with groups: training centres, schools and universities, safety trainers on industrial sites, medical simulation teams and trade-show crews. Customers include UniLaSalle Beauvais, Saint-Gobain, IFPEN, Université Champollion and CPIFP Corona de Aragón.

Can I start using OmnicastVR for free?

Yes. The OmnicastVR Free plan controls 1 to 2 headsets, free forever and with no credit card required. Direct Access plans cover 5, 10 or 16 headsets per computer, from €20 per month excl. VAT billed annually, and Enterprise Access is on quotation.

See every headset. Launch every app. From one screen.

OmnicastVR is VR session control software for Windows, built for group training sessions. One trainer sees up to 16 standalone headsets live on one screen, launches the same app on all of them and shuts them down at the end, over a local Wi-Fi network, with or without internet.

The difference

Stop running from headset to headset during VR sessions

The same group VR session, without and with OmnicastVR.

A trainer rushing between learners wearing VR headsets during a group session — The trainer runs, the group waits

Without OmnicastVR

You walk from learner to learner asking "what do you see?"
You start the app headset by headset, and the group never starts together
You notice a stuck learner only when they take the headset off
On the road, you carry one PC and one screen per headset
At the end of the session, you lose time switching off every headset by hand

A trainer stays seated and follows every learner's headset view on a laptop running OmnicastVR, next to a Wi-Fi router — The trainer stays seated and sees everything

With OmnicastVR

Every learner's view is live on your screen, up to 16
One click starts the same app for the whole group
You zoom on the learner who hesitates and help from your seat
One PC and a Wi-Fi router are enough, with or without internet
One click shuts down every headset at the end of the session

VR Headset Management Features for Training Teams

OmnicastVR manages VR headsets during the live session. It is not an MDM: device enrolment, kiosk mode and remote wipe stay with tools such as ArborXR or ManageXR.

In their words

What trainers say about OmnicastVR

Unlike a complex MDM, OmnicastVR is used in the field like a remote: to launch content, stream, or shut down headsets at a distance.

Marie L.Jean Moulin High School · TrainerEducation

Thanks to simultaneous streaming and the Zoom feature, I can spot very quickly which trainee in the group has a trembling hand before the incision.

Dr. L., Head of SimulationRegional teaching hospital, VR procedural simulation−65%

Because OmnicastVR runs on local Wi-Fi, we worked around the missing internet at the show. Simultaneous content launch let us share our experiences with whole groups, and the screen mirroring on the TV was a key driver of booth attraction.

Session control vs MDM

OmnicastVR vs MDM Software: the right tool for live VR session control

Both are called VR headset management software, but they do different jobs. Many teams only need session control; large fleets use both side by side.

Internet: needed for activation and updates, with a reconnection at least every 30 days. Beyond 16 headsets, each extra group needs its own PC and licence. Enable developer mode on Meta Quest →
