RedboxVR Kits vs Sourcing Your Own Headsets

Published

People occasionally wonder how our Multi-User VR Kits are any more useful than if they supplied their own headsets. This is a reasonable assumption, until you walk through the step-by-step process of sourcing headsets yourself and everything that is actually involved in the long and arduous process.

We understand the pressure on budgets and the allure of attempting to achieve a similar solution to cut costs. But when you factor in time, management, support, and the finished solution, the initial perceived savings of a DIY approach quickly dissolve into a major logistical headache.

Device Setup and Software Installation

First things first, each headset needs to be charged. Then, they will all need to be taken through the initial setup process. This involves wading through health and safety information, connecting to WiFi, and connecting the controllers. Then, your headset will most likely have software updates to perform – not only for the headset, but for the controllers too.

These software updates need time to download as well as time to install. This would all be easy and manageable for a single headset purchased from a retail store. However, if you want to implement 30 devices, this initial setup becomes an incredibly time-consuming endeavour.

Additionally, the software that you want would need to be installed on each individual headset. Altogether, these processes take many, many hours to see through to completion. This is why our White Glove Service is invaluable, as our team of in-house technicians take care of all of this instead.

The Ultimate Storage Solution

The next hurdle would be to find a storage solution to house your headsets. This in itself would be a demanding task, and your chosen case likely wouldn’t end up being as effective as one of our bespoke solutions. Our Multi-User VR Kits are custom-built to house the various VR headsets that we supply, with perfectly sized, laser-cut storage for all headsets, controllers and peripherals.

Our bespoke solutions also feature intelligent charging, meaning each headset can be charged directly from within the case, using only one plug. They also feature wheels for easy transportation and are military grade, so your headsets stay protected – no matter what.

The storage solution that we offer simply cannot be found elsewhere. We supply custom solutions based on the specific needs of our customers. This is an incredibly difficult thing to replicate.

Branding & Support

In addition to everything listed above, a DIY approach would also miss out on our custom branding services. This allows you to emblazon your company logo on each headset as well as on the inside of the case lid. Professionally branded headsets turn your VR kit into a unique and specialised kit, personally tailored to your company or organisation.

RedboxVR Kits outperform a DIY approach every step of the way. We offer a complete solution where every headset is already set up and is ready to be used straight out the box.
