Top story
PICO unveiled more details on the PICO 4 Ultra and the PICO Motion Tracker.
What are they like? I had a go at both at a PICO launch event in London. The headset itself is slick, and I am intrigued to see how the spatial video works with VR headsets. But I am more curious about the PICO Motion Tracker, which slaps. It tracks foot movement very well, with low latency, and it was very easy to set up. It is one of the best motion-tracking devices I have tried. Power to the developers that use it.
