APK (installation via MDM or SideQuest)
Download
To install Bodyswaps using a sideloading tool like SideQuest 🌐 or a wireless mobile device manager application (like ArborXR 🌐) you will need to download the Bodyswaps APK executable onto your desktop. Then follow the instructions of your preferred installer.
Using an MDM like Arbor XR or Manage XR allows you to install our app (and any other ones you may be using) remotely on a fleet of devices. If you are using Arbor XR or Manager XR and would like to be added to our Bodyswaps distribution list, please contact your Customer Success team member or email support@bodyswaps.co for further details.
Installing using SideQuest
Connect your Pico to your computer via the USB-C cable provided.
Download the SideQuest software for PC or Mac to be able to sideload VR experiences using this link 🌐. Despite its name, for our purposes, it works great on Vive Focus+
