Front End Developer - PHP / Laravel

About ArborXR

ArborXR is a purpose-built platform for managing and scaling XR deployments across enterprises, educational institutions, and large organizations. We make it easy to enroll and configure devices, remotely deploy apps and content, monitor device health, and control user experiences, all from a centralized web portal designed for XR at scale. Our enterprise-grade platform is trusted by thousands of organizations worldwide and is built with robust security and flexible integrations.

Beyond device and content management, ArborXR Insights provides powerful analytics and reporting, giving teams visibility into training outcomes, user engagement, completion rates, performance metrics, and ROI. Insights can also integrate with existing LMS and business intelligence tools so companies can measure impact and optimize their XR programs with real data.

We believe that XR should lead to deeper relationships, giving us our time back to be more present––not less. That it should ultimately enhance life and lead to individuals and communities flourishing.

Our vision for XR is a future where people use XR as a tool, not as an escape.

We’ve already seen an explosion of these kinds of VR and AR applications. Groundbreaking medical advances. VR therapy for PTSD, architectural simulations, 3D engineering, pain management without pills, aircraft simulators, and more.

XR can help pilots train faster, engineers collaborate more effectively, and doctors save lives.We know that this vision differs from the driving visions of major consumer tech giants.

The fundamentals of the attention economy mean that the more hours you can control someone’s eyeballs, the more money you make.

Spencer Hunt, from 20th Century Fox, put it this way. “The future of XR is not about a gadget at all, it’s not about taking us to other places, shooting zombies, or playing ping pong with friends. Today’s XR industry leaders are making a land grab, they are making these investments for more than sales of hardware and software. They are truly looking to be a part of our soul.”

XR has the potential to be the most distracting and soul-sucking technology ever invented.

Part of our mission at ArborXR is to be a countervailing force in the industry, to align with like-minded organizations, and to be a positive force as this new technology develops.
