Architecture & Requirements

Core Bridge XR components and infrastructure requirements.

Bridge XR combines hosted services, playback surfaces, and a Unity workflow.

Core components

Authentication

Bridge XR can connect to your institution's existing SSO provider.

Backend services

The backend runs in your cloud environment and handles platform logic, data, and experience delivery.

Storage and database

You need:

• object storage for uploaded experience bundles

• a PostgreSQL database for platform data

Web Dashboard

The web dashboard is the browser-based management surface.

It is hosted on your infrastructure and includes the web player for Unity web exports.

Bridge XR App

The app is the installed client used to play experiences on Meta Quest headsets.

This is the headset-based player in the Bridge XR platform.

Unity authoring stack

Developers need:

• Unity

• Zoe for Unity

• the Bridge XR integration package

This stack is used to build, prepare, and upload experiences.

Developers can export for different playback targets, including the web.

What your team needs to plan

• a URL for the web dashboard

• a cloud environment for frontend and backend hosting

• object storage

• a PostgreSQL database

• an SSO setup

• a distribution method for the Bridge XR app

• a plan for which experiences run in the browser and which run on Meta Quest

Typical ownership

• IT / platform owners: infrastructure, SSO, app rollout

• Administrators: workspace setup and member access

• Developers: Unity workflow and uploads
