Hi r/PicoXR community!
As you may have heard, today our teams across Japan and China shared exciting news about Project SWAN and it's official launch name, PICO Space Pro.
Please use this thread to let your questions be known! I will do my best at getting your questions in front of our developers working on the project and subsequently share there back here where.
Thanks!
It injects into VR, but here are a few pro's & cons you should know about
Hello I'm Ildar from PiEEG. We’ve been developing an open biosignal hardware mask (EEG, EMG, EOG) that mounts onto VR headsets to process real-time facial expressions, emotional response data, and muscle movement.
Originally, we designed this with Meta Quest and VRChat in mind to drive social avatars. However, after talking to several Pico users and academic researchers, we noticed a major shift: researchers and developers want to use this tech with Pico headsets for cognitive studies, human-computer interaction (HCI), and emotion recognition.
We’re trying to understand how to best tailor the integration specifically for the Pico ecosystem and would love to get your input:
We're hosting a technical breakdown on signal cleaning and real-time streaming logic soon for anyone interested in the raw engineering side.
Happy to answer any technical questions about the sensor placement, raw data processing, or hardware integration in the comments!

I can't wait to play more of this as it's such a fantastic experience in VR
I see that pico 4 ultra can download right now but when i start the game it freezes on updating resources.
any help
I recently picked up a neo link to replace my aging Rift S as the neo link has display port connection.
I used to use apps like big screen and deovr to watch films with my friends and I was wondering if I need to use Steam VR and then open the app to get the max quality viewing experience, or can I just use apps like deovr from the pico dash and have the same quality low latency viewing experience,
Thanks 😊
I recently bought myself a pico neo link 3 headset with some of the pico trackers. All i want to do is to play vrchat through steam vr while being able to use the trackers. So far, i have managed to get into vrchat through steamvr, but the pico trackers aren't working. They don't show up as devices in steamvr either.
I have my headset connected via a usb 3.0 port and display port, so when my pico neo 3 link boots up, it goes straight into the DP mode and connects to my pc through steamVR.
The trackers work fine when i'm not using steamVR, but as soon as i get onto steamVRr, the trackers don't show up.
Can anyone help me please? I've been trying to fix this by looking at multiple videos and forums for 6+ hours and i am clueless.
I have 5x slime trackers but 2x pico trackers track my body way better, they are cheaper, lighter and are way easier to set up and put on my body.
For any pico owners using windows i can definitely recommend it.
The only unfortunate downside is that they only work with pico headsets
But in my opinion this are the most hassle free fbt solution in the market that gives accurate tracking, even without a hip trackers is tracks my hip well enough
edit: they work on linux

I bought this with a plan to refund after a few hours, but i am actually enjoying this so tried it in vr and, well...

It's scary how much has been put into this now and i hear there's more coming
Hi again, we make OVERAY DESK.
We shared the PICO version here recently and wanted to follow up with a short clip.
Since that post, we’ve made a few updates, including the Web Browser and Mac support.
Linux also came up in the comments last time. We can’t promise Linux support right now, but we’re taking it seriously and talking internally about what it would actually take.
We’re still trying to get more PICO-specific feedback. We don’t want to just guess how people use PICO for desktop setups without hearing from PICO users directly.
To make it easier to try, the PICO version is 48% off until Aug 17.
OVERAY DESK is for using your PC in VR with virtual monitors, flexible placement, and a personal desk setup.
If you use PICO for PC work, browsing, studying, or just desktop time, even a few lines about what looks useful, confusing, or missing would help a lot.

Why do we forget that the Pico Tracker has IR and could simply use a base station for better accuracy in PCVR? Why did Pico probably discard this idea?
Im playing through steamvr and pico connect, no matter what i change the resolution to fps is the same, cant raise bitrate above 50 give or take before it shows noticable delay but even at the lowest of the low, when playing pavlov etc. the entire view freezes and shows black around. After a while it passes and happens again. I tried fiddling with settings both on vr itself and connect app on pc but no cigar.
Any suggestions or things i can tell you to help me?

Never played this before so VR is my 1st experience. Am i crazy? 🤪
How are Pico users in the United States getting standalone games for their headsets? I understand that Steam and PCVR can offer a wealth of games, but there are some decent standalone games available on the Pico 4 Ultra, and with the Pico store not available in the US, how can these games be purchased and used?
