Oculus Go Kiosk Mode

Is it possible to put the Go into a Kiosk mode, as in to only play a single application automatically upon turning on the device.

We managed to create a minimal "KioskMode" Android Launcher.

Download KioskMode .apk here: http://oculusgokioskmode.undef.ch/

This launcher is a workaround since oculus still does not provide any function to implement a proper "kiosk mode".

Has anyone tried switching to Lenovo's Mirage Solo? It seems similar - if not superior - in specs, but is possibly more basic Android and might allow this.


You do realize that the Solo costs twice as much don't you? This means the Kiosk budget goes half as far. Also, most reviewers consider the Go visual experience to better than the Solo's. Kiosk mode issues can be fixed with software. The visual experience not so much.

I know this, but nonetheless the current possibilities to fix this with software are limited and prone to be broken again with any upcoming firmware update. Oculus also shows no intention of changing this behavior.
Looking for alternatives is only reasonable if not inevitable.

+1 for this. Really need kiosk/professional mode for public use.

+1 We need a way to simply show 360 videos WITHOUT having to teach each person/user how to use the remote.

For apps a kiosk mode would add more value to the Oculus Go for businesses! For 360° video's we have developed a kiosk-style video player. 

EZ360 is an easy way to show 360 videos. It automatically starts a video when someone puts on the headset. When you hand the headset to someone else the video resets and the next person can view it from the beginning. If you have any questions, please let me know: sam@vr-house.nl
