# Overview

Bridge XR is a self-hosted platform for creating, delivering, and tracking immersive learning experiences.

It connects your institution's infrastructure, Unity workflow, and playback on Meta Quest and the web.

### Bridge XR has 3 main parts

#### 1. Web Dashboard

Use the web dashboard to manage the platform.

* manage members and roles
* create and publish modules
* share module CODEs
* review analytics
* launch supported web experiences through the web player

#### 2. Bridge XR App

Use the app to join modules and play headset experiences.

* supports Meta Quest headsets
* provides headset-based playback
* supports guest access
* sends activity data back to the dashboard

#### 3. Unity authoring workflow

Developers create experiences in Unity with:

* **Zoe for Unity**
* the **Bridge XR integration package**

Together, they let developers:

* build experiences
* add Bridge-specific tracking
* mark experience completion
* export web builds for browser-based playback
* upload bundles to the Bridge XR platform

### Playback options

Bridge XR has two main playback surfaces:

* the **Bridge XR App** for installed Meta Quest playback
* the **web player** for Unity experiences exported for the web

The playback path depends on how the developer exports the experience.

In many educational institutions, the developer role may be handled by students, faculty teams, or external partners.

### How the platform works

1. IT deploys Bridge XR on the institution's infrastructure.
2. Administrators add members and assign roles.
3. Developers build and upload experiences from Unity.
4. Coaches create modules from those experiences.
5. Participants join modules with a CODE and play.
6. Analytics flow back to the dashboard.

### Who usually uses what

* **IT and platform owners**: deployment, SSO, app distribution
* **Administrators**: members, roles, billing, oversight
* **Developers**: Unity, Zoe for Unity, Bridge XR integration package
* **Coaches and facilitators**: modules, participant management, analytics
* **Participants**: Meta Quest app or web player
