PICO XR for the Impact? 🌍 🇦🇹 Just tried the new PICO XR 4 Ultra Enterprise at AWE in Vienna —and it’s clear that PICO is creating the right tools for tackling some of the world’s biggest challenges. Their open approach with passthrough video access isn’t just a developer perk; it’s a game-changer for impact-driven projects. 🌱 With PICO, creators can design immersive experiences that seamlessly blend the physical and digital worlds, making it easier to develop solutions that matter—whether that’s climate-focused simulations, hands-on training for sustainability, or emergency response drills that could save lives.
