42Gears unveils virtual reality (VR) headset device management

42Gears has designed and developed SureMDM - VR to help organizations lockdown VR devices such as Oculus Go into kiosk mode, turning them into dedicated purpose devices. IT Professionals can restrict the device to a single app or multiple app modes, ensuring only allowed applications run on the VR device. SureMDM - VR also provides remote screen option, allowing IT admins to keep a track of what content is being watched on the headset and diagnose problems easily, whenever required.
