A significantly enriched version of the software and a new two-tier pricing model come with these announcements.
What did OmnicastVR announce in October 2026?

Who develops OmnicastVR?
OmnicastVR is published by NOVALAB, a French company founded by Alexis Vervelle, and developed by Studio Muybridge, a software studio specialising in XR technologies based in Montpellier, France. Studio Muybridge has built the software since its creation. In October 2026 the studio officially joined the OmnicastVR project as a technical partner. This structured partnership gives OmnicastVR an integrated development team: a key factor to accelerate the product roadmap, guarantee the quality of each release and ensure continuity of technical support for large accounts.
The partnership comes with €150,000 of funding from Versitech Group, the holding company of NOVALAB, dedicated to accelerating OmnicastVR's commercial development abroad.
Why did Saint-Gobain choose OmnicastVR?
Saint-Gobain, a world leader in sustainable construction, selected OmnicastVR to deploy and supervise its virtual reality demonstration and training sessions. Large organisations set high requirements for reliability, data security and multi-site management. OmnicastVR answers them through its architecture:
- Local streaming: headset screens are streamed to the trainer's Windows PC over the local Wi-Fi network; the video does not go through a cloud service.
- No internet needed during sessions: the software runs on a local network; the license only needs to go online once every 30 days.
- Nothing to install on the headsets: OmnicastVR works with standalone Android headsets as they are.
- Multi-site license management: with Orga Manager, licenses are distributed remotely by business unit, site or subsidiary.
This listing opens the way to deployments in large organisations, where IT departments often restrict cloud services for connected devices. Read how OmnicastVR differs from a cloud MDM in our VR MDM guide.
What's new in the latest version of OmnicastVR?
The new version of OmnicastVR, developed within the Studio Muybridge partnership, adds six improvements aimed at trainers who run intensive VR sessions.
| Feature | What changes for the trainer |
|---|---|
| Companion | After a first wired setup, the headset stays connected. No need to reconnect it manually before each session. |
| Orga Manager | Large organisations manage their licenses remotely and by business unit, without touching each workstation. |
| Headset volume control | The trainer sets the audio volume of each headset from the supervision screen, without leaving their seat. |
| Improved streaming | Smoother, more stable video feeds, with bandwidth management adapted to the varied Wi-Fi networks found in the field. |
| Redesigned interface | Cleaner streaming grid, headset status readable at a glance, session commands brought forward. Goal: a non-technical trainer is operational from the first launch. |
| Built-in headset onboarding | A first-connection assistant guides the operator step by step when setting up headsets, simplifies technical steps and reduces start-up errors. |

How is OmnicastVR priced now?
OmnicastVR now uses a pricing model in two segments, alongside a Free plan for 1 to 2 headsets that is free forever, with no credit card.
- Direct Access — for small and medium businesses, freelance trainers and educational institutions. Monthly or annual subscription (30% off on annual), paid online by card. Three tiers by number of headsets supervised at the same time: Omni5 (up to 5 headsets), Omni10 (up to 10) and Omni16 (up to 16).
- Enterprise — for large accounts and multi-site deployments. Custom offer on quote, with Orga Manager, a dedicated contact and priority support packs.
Every OmnicastVR license is tied to a Windows machine (PC, desktop or tablet), never to a headset. Current prices are on the OmnicastVR pricing page.
Where is OmnicastVR available?
OmnicastVR is sold internationally: omnicastvr.com is available in 7 languages (English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Dutch and Portuguese) and OmnicastVR is used in more than 25 countries, with active customers in Europe and the United States. OmnicastVR's stated ambition is to become the standard for field VR supervision, in any language and on any terrain.
What the founders say
“OmnicastVR was born from a simple observation: trainers who deploy VR in the field don't need an IT tool, they need a remote control. Joining forces with Studio Muybridge, earning the trust of Versitech Group and seeing a group like Saint-Gobain adopt our solution confirms that we are building the right product, for the right market, at the right time. And we have no intention of stopping here.”
— Alexis Vervelle, founder of OmnicastVR / NOVALAB
“We have worked alongside OmnicastVR since its very beginning and have always believed in its potential. Today we are taking a new step by becoming a technical partner fully committed to its development. This move reflects our shared ambition to build a solid, innovative solution that meets the growing needs of companies deploying virtual reality at scale.”
— Florian & Victor, partners at Studio Muybridge

Frequently Asked Questions
Who makes OmnicastVR?
OmnicastVR is published by NOVALAB, a French company founded by Alexis Vervelle, which also operates the VR Académie brand. The software is developed by Studio Muybridge, an XR software studio based in Montpellier that has built OmnicastVR since its creation and became its technical partner in October 2026. OmnicastVR is also sold through distribution partners such as Komete XR and INO-VR.
Does OmnicastVR work without an internet connection?
Yes. OmnicastVR runs on a local Wi-Fi network: the PC and the headsets only need to be on the same network, and no internet connection is required during VR sessions. The only online step is the license check, which must happen at least once every 30 days. Headset video streams stay on the local network.
Is OmnicastVR an MDM?
No. OmnicastVR is a VR session control software: it is the trainer's tool during the session, to see every headset live, launch apps and shut headsets down. It does not provide the remote fleet administration features of an MDM such as kiosk mode or a custom launcher, which remain the job of an MDM.
Is there a free version of OmnicastVR?
Yes. The OmnicastVR Free plan supervises 1 to 2 VR headsets, free forever and with no credit card. Paid Direct Access plans (Omni5, Omni10, Omni16) extend supervision to 5, 10 or 16 headsets on a monthly or annual subscription, and large organisations can request an Enterprise quote.
What do I need to run OmnicastVR?
OmnicastVR needs a Windows PC, laptop or tablet on the same local network as the headsets. It works with standalone Android VR headsets such as Meta Quest, Pico and HTC Vive Focus. Nothing is installed on the headsets; on Meta Quest only, developer mode must be enabled once.
How many VR headsets can OmnicastVR supervise at once?
OmnicastVR supervises up to 16 VR headsets at the same time from one Windows machine, with the Omni16 plan. The number of headsets depends on the plan: 1 to 2 with Free, up to 5 with Omni5, up to 10 with Omni10 and up to 16 with Omni16.
