What Is The Cost Of Mercury Extended Reality System?
Mercury XRS helps organizations effortlessly manage, deliver, and report on their virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality training, all from one web-based platform.
The cost of Mercury XRS is heavily dependent on several factors, from the number of headsets your training requires to the scope of integration. These factors could take the overall cost of Mercury XRS from $1,500 per month to $10,000 or more per month.
Let’s break down these 3 cost factors in more detail.
3 Main Factors That Affect The Cost Of Mercury Extended Reality System
1. Number Of Headsets
The main cost factor of Mercury XRS is the number of headsets your training program requires. Apart from the headset cost itself (e.g. Meta Quest, Pico Neo, HTC Vive), your organization will have to pay for the installation and hosting of the Mercury XRS platform on each headset.
2. Scope Of Integration
The scope of integration refers to both the number of systems and the data that will be sent both to and from the Mercury XRS system. The more your XR training is a part of your business process/decision making, the more you’ll want that data available to your other reporting solutions. This takes into account any HRIS, LMS, BI, or LRS systems and the amount of information moving from one system to another.
3. Non-Standard SSO For Profile Syncing Or Content Assignment
Part of the initial setup of Mercury XRS involves profile syncing or content assignment to specific users within the system. While you may use single sign-on to populate profiles, this login system may not provide enough information about users, requiring a secondary user feed.
When a secondary user feed is required for profile syncing or content assignment, you can expect the cost of Mercury XRS to be higher given the non-standard authorization of users from that secondary feed.
What Is Included In A Mercury Extended Reality System Subscription?
Seamless Content Management
Imagine an app sitting on the home screen of your mobile device. Mercury XRS similarly sits within a device after a simple installation and registration is completed. Within the Mercury XRS app, administrators have the ability to launch, access, and manage content within the system on their own.
Content can be assigned according to a user, device, and location, allowing organizations to have more control over the delivery of content. This key advantage of Mercury XRS lets organizations maintain access to content, as well as assign specific content to learners.
Ability To Make Updates And Develop Content
When you purchase a Mercury XRS subscription, your organization is gaining the ability to not only send updated content to the app, but also source content on your own with a Mercury XRS software development kit (SDK).

Automatic Collection Of Analytics
Tracking vital training metrics is critical in proving the success of your program – Mercury XRS allows you to do just that.
Mercury XRS gives organizations the ability to collect analytics and disaggregate them to your backend systems (e.g. LMS, LRS, LCMS). With Mercury XRS, organizations can automatically receive data, process it, and display it in easy-to-read graphs, charts, and tables.
Standard xAPI Access To Learning Records
If your organization’s LMS or LRS supports xAPI technology, Mercury XRS can send learning records and completions as xAPI statements. With xAPI, organizations can capture and send key learning data to learning records for each learner.
Even as XR data collection becomes more specific (e.g. tracking environments, objects, user actions), Mercury XRS is capable of tracking and packaging these metrics for each user.
