Your current setup will continue working as expected through at least 2030.\n\n**For organizations with existing HMS licensing budgets:** This transition represents an opportunity to reallocate previously committed HMS licensing costs toward expanding your VR infrastructure, additional Nanome capabilities, or other strategic research technology investments.\n\n**Need bulk Quest devices for your team?** We can help coordinate purchasing and deployment. Reach out to us at support@nanome.ai or contact your account manager or application scientist directly.\n\n## Looking Ahead: Android XR\n\nAs Meta transitions HMS to maintenance mode, the industry is evolving. [**Nanome is a launch partner for Android XR**](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.linkedin.com\u002Ffeed\u002Fupdate\u002Furn:li:activity:7386593721460592640), which recently became available for enterprise deployments.\n\nIf you're interested in future-proofing your VR infrastructure and exploring migration to Android XR, we're here to support that transition.\n\n**Important compatibility note:** Nanome v2.4 and newer versions support Android XR. Earlier versions are not currently compatible.\n\n---\n\n**Questions about device management, bulk purchasing, or Android XR migration?**  \nContact us at support@nanome.ai or reach out through your dedicated account manager or application scientist.","2026-01-16T05:02:39.635Z","2026-03-24T17:53:30.133Z","2026-01-16T05:02:46.741Z","2026-01-16","Meta announces free Horizon Managed Services for Quest VR device management starting February 2026.
