Synthesis VR Proxy – Setup Guide
Introduction Synthesis VR is a software platform for location-based virtual reality device management and content licensing. Our platform achieves this goal with a “Synthesis” of multiple pieces of software. The heart of Synthesis VR software platform is the Synthesis VR Proxy. What Is The Synthesis VR Proxy? The Synthesis VR Proxy is a communication and cache interface between the Synthesis VR management applications such as: How Does The Synthesis VR Proxy Work? Every Synthesis VR customer is assigned a personal and private AES key (Advanced Encryption Standard) and the communication between the Synthesis VR infrastructure and your Synthesis VR Proxy instance is encrypted with the same key. This ensures your network, despite being connected to the Synthesis infrastructure, is completely isolated. What Does The Synthesis VR Proxy Look Like? The Proxy does not have a GUI (Graphic User Interface), and does not have a “window” to launch or interact with. It is a Windows Service that runs in the background. Therefore, it is lightweight and doesn’t require a powerful system to run. You can find it by going to the Windows Services Manager. The Synthesis VR Proxy can be found here. It is started automatically when the computer is turned on. You can start, stop, or restart the service from the windows services manager. If the Synthesis VR Proxy is stopped, the communication won’t work and you won’t be able to manage your VR devices (manage sessions ; use Voice Chat ; etc). Synthesis VR will not function. The “synthesisvr” Windows Account Upon installing the Proxy, a new synthesisvr Windows Administrator account is created and a random 16 characters password is assigned. The account and the password are used to allow the Proxy service to run on the PC even if all the other Windows users are currently not logged in and interacting with the Desktop. There is no need to ever log in with this user. Where Do I Install The Synthesis VR Proxy? Important Notes On Which Computer Do I Install The Synthesis VR Proxy?

Experience Types Add-On – Work Hours – By Game
The purpose of this Rule is to allow your arcade to act more like a traditional arcade where someone pays to play a game until a certain criteria is reached. For example, they play until they “die”, or play just a single round. Once the criteria is reached (set within the Game Categories section explained here), the session ends. Then click on the “Add/Edit Operation Settings” button under your experiences: To remove a line item in this section, click on the red “x” to the right of it.
Synthesis VR Setup – VR Stations

If you choose to revert back to the standard 2D menu, you can switch this back to “None” at any time and you’ll again need to do a refresh on the VR Station(s) that you’re reverting back. 7. Once you’ve entered in all the necessary (and optional) sections, you will see that the “Save” button is now solid and clickable. Click that to save, otherwise your edits will be lost. If you want to exit and start over click the tiny “x” button in the top right of the window or click the “Hide” button at the bottom of the window.
