I got Pico 4 undergoing testing with the latest OS 5.7.1 onboard. This update has really improved hand tracking, showing significant improvements over the previous 5.6.0 version โ it's quite the leap forward.
Now, if you're pondering the eternal Pico 4 Vs. Quest 2 debate, you'll want to get into the nitty-gritty of their specific features. One key aspect to dive into is hand tracking. It's worth mentioning that comparing Quest 2 and Pico 4 might be a tad uneven, mainly due to the fact that Meta has gone through multiple iterations of hand tracking. However, as things stand today, you can actually put them head-to-head and see which one truly nails it in terms of accurate hand tracking.
โ PICO 4 with XRI also is now working as well. If you're curious about PICO 4 with Unity XRI et me know, and I can do a video about it.

Here is a great depiction of what 'Standing on the shoulders of Giants' means. I am playing #Prey, a classic FPS shooter from 2006 on my #Pico4 headset in glorious #VirtualReality with 6DoF and motion controls. How was this made possible? Check out this diagram to see how the modding community in the #gaming space worked feverishly to port old games and enhance engines that resulted in a game made for Windows Vista! running in a standalone VR headset.

IDK how or why but the #Pico4 's silly little plastic controllers feel better and are less frustrating to use then my index finger tracking controllers.
+ No track pads
+ Buttons not finger tracking
+ Light
+ Crazy long battery life
- AAA batteries
- Bad straps
Here is some gameplay (German): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxCEww-PdmY

A VR mod for Crysis is in the works. It's currently in Alpha but already playable. ๐คฉ
I played for a while using Virtual Desktop to stream the game from my PC to my Pico 4 headset. You still need a beefy PC but it's great fun!

I might as well join the #PSVR2 train today ๐
If you haven't seen it yet, here's an official unboxing from Sony...
Stats suggest #Pico4 is currently the top seller in the consumer #VR market, outpacing #MetaQuest devices
I'm interested in how the #PlayStation #VR2 performs over the next year. The #AMD graphics hardware in the #PS5 is already about a gen-and-a-half behind AMD's discrete #GPUs for the #PC

JFC!
I _JUST_ learned about a VR product that is 10+yrs old today that is kicking the ass of #Meta's #Metaverse product point to point product wise which is $51 more expensive than the #MetaQuest2 named #PICO4 which is growing at a 3x rate of #Meta's flagship #Metaverse product and is waaaaay less expensive by 3x!!! #WSJ #SiliconValley #VR #MR #AR #Competition
Exec Summary: PICO is for Business
VR and Meta's VR product is just for games.
PICO has 250+ vs Meta's paltry 400 games for the place form and since they compete there is some gaming company software cross overs.
The _Best_ part is the #PICO4 has its _own platform_ that _doesn't require anything #Meta related_
( read: #ToxicSocialMedia or watch #Netflix's #TheSocialDilemma then rewatch #TheSocialNetwork , #DumbFSCKs) to function login wise.
O_o !!!! >.<
