# Projects and Web Configurations

Understand Oden project files, portal projects, and web-based operator configurations.

Last validated: 2026-05-25

Oden has two related configuration layers.

Web configurations

Portal-backed or customer-hosted web projects that drive operator UI, vehicle selection, video layout, widgets, and control panels through Oden’s webview integration.

Oden project files

`.vproj` files loaded by Streamer and Player. They contain scenes, entities, camera inputs, stream settings, network links, plugins, and application settings.

For new users, it’s preferred to use web configurations that the portal owns.

For the detailed project model, see [Projects and Scenes](../configure/projects-and-scenes.md).

## Web-based operator layouts

Web-based operator layouts use the Oden WebView and JavaScript SDK. The web page creates DOM regions for video, widgets, gauges, maps, and/or controls. Oden draws the actual video surfaces over those regions.

For details, see:

-   [Project configuration](../configure/project-configuration.md)
    
-   [Player Layout](../configure/player-layout.md)
    
-   [Webview and JavaScript SDK](../integrate/webview-sdk.md)
    

## Gated enterprise features

Non-web-login usage, custom web-page hosting, and customer-specific authentication flows are enterprise features.
